About this audiobook
Nadine Walsh’s summer garden party is in full swing. The neighbors all have cocktails, the catered food is exquisite—everything’s going according to plan.
But Nadine—devoted wife, loving mother, and doting daughter—finds herself standing over a dead body in her basement while her guests clink glasses upstairs. What happened? How did it come to this?
Rewind to that morning, when Nadine is in her kitchen, making last-minute preparations before she welcomes more than a hundred guests to her home to celebrate her mother’s birthday. But her husband is of little help to her, her two grown children are consumed with their own concerns, and her mother—only her mother knows that today isn’t just a birthday party. It marks another anniversary as well.
Still, Nadine will focus just on tonight. Everyone deserves a celebration after the year they’ve had. A chance for fun. A chance to forget. But it’s hard to forget when Nadine’s head is swirling with secrets, haunting memories, and concerns about what might happen when her guests unite.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Was worried about the cliché of a premise, but this turned out much better and more complex than expected. Lots of characters to keep straight, and sometimes the pace was a tad slow, but the story was unpredictable and entertaining right up to the end. Liked most of the characters. Narration was pretty good as well.
Can recommend if you like stories where the reveal isn’t the murderer, but rather the victim.1 person found this helpful
