The New Year's Party: A Novel

"The twists don't let up in this propulsive and wildly entertaining book that epitomizes the saying, 'With friends like these, who needs enemies?'"
--Ashley Winstead, USA TODAY bestselling author


New Year's Eve hits different in your thirties. Especially when the party ends in murder.

It used to be an annual thing--the raucous New Year's party full of games and hors d'oeuvres. But for Olivia and her friends, the chaos of their thirties has really challenged the definition of annual. It's been a few years since the close friends were last...close. But this year is gonna be different. The burnout, parenting stress, credit card debt, job drama, marriage troubles, addiction--they're going to set it all aside for the night. No, really. They swear.

Oh, except for the secrets. Every last person has one... But secrets are only as good as the people you trust to keep them, and when the wrong one slips out...well, friends or not, that just might become motive for murder.

Everybody thinks they know their closest friends--until somebody winds up dead.
