Party of Liars

A Novel

De: Kelsey Cox

Narrado por: Dan Bittner, Kate Handford, Pearl Hewitt, Saskia Maarleveld, Suzy Jackson

Featuring multicast narration, a lavish, Texas-sized Sweet Sixteen turns deadly in this twisty, pulse-pounding new novel—serving up a fresh take on a classic locked-room whodunnit. Let the festivities begin…

Today is Sophie Matthews’s sixteenth birthday party, an exclusive black-tie bash in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where secrets are as deep-rooted as the sprawling live oaks. Sophie’s dad has spared no expense, and his renovated cliffside mansion—once thought haunted and shuttered for years from outsiders—is now hosting the event of the season. Then, just before the candles on the three-tiered red velvet cake are blown out, a body falls from the balcony onto the starlit dance floor below.

It’s a killer guest list . . .

DANI: Sophie’s new stepmother who’s been plagued by self-doubt ever since the birth of her own baby girl

ÓRLAITH: the superstitious Irish nanny who senses a looming danger in this cavernous house

MIKAYLA: the birthday girl’s best friend who is not nearly as meek as the popular kids assume

KIM: the cunning ex-wife who has a grudge she can’t let go of

Everyone is invited in. Not everyone will get out alive.

This could become a movie

I have never heard of this author, but this was a great listen. Very twisty story that had me guessing until the end

AMAZING!

Twist after twist after twist. All the way until the last few words. I thought I “figured it out” 100 times. Excellent book, fast paced and beautifully written. And the narrators were all pitch perfect. HIGHLY recommend!

Unexpected twists

This book kept my attention from the start. Enjoyed the character development and did not see some twists coming.

Twisty

Loved this twist and turn all the way to the end. Had not heard of this author before but definitely will look for more of her work.

Great story

Really well done story telling. One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to this year. All the 5 star reviews are on point, absolutely worth a read/listen. I look forward to more from this author.

Great.

Fun summer read. Full cast of narrators, different points of view. keeps you guessing 😉.

loved it

I really enjoyed this story. it was well written and the message in the end was really good. everything was tied together well. I also really liked the dual POV. Great characters, wonderfully done.

Great character development and super twisty!

The character development is very good. Doesn’t happen immediately, definitely builds. By the last part of the book the twists were mind blowing. Definitely did not expext the ending!! Loved the TX references (HEB, Topo Chico, Shiner).
