Story
I return home to our beautiful house on a chilly winter evening expecting to find my handsome husband Richard waiting for me by the fire. We’re still so in love, and he always takes care of me. He usually comes straight back from work. But tonight, our antique clock ticks on through the dark evening, with no sign of him. Then a knock at the door shatters my perfect life. A 12-year-old-girl, Alice from the village, has been found unconscious in the field behind our house. They say she was last seen getting into Richard’s car.

Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

Two many twists
- By Jolie Blonde on 12-21-19
By: K. L. Slater
Publisher's Summary
It was just a party. But it turned into a nightmare.
When Rachel wakes up in a strange room the morning after a neighbour’s party, she has no memory of what happened the night before. Why did her husband leave her alone at the party? Did they row? Why are Rachel’s arms so bruised? And why are her neighbours and friends so vague about what really happened?
Little by little, Rachel pieces together the devastating events that took place in a friend’s house, at a party where she should have been safe. Everyone remembers what happened that night differently, and everyone has something to hide. But someone knows the truth about what happened to Rachel. And she’s determined to find them.
The Party is the gripping new novel from best-selling author Lisa Hall.
Critic Reviews
"Breathlessly fast-paced and cleverly unsettling, this thriller about a couple trying to escape their past is the very definition of unputdownable." (Heat on Tell Me No Lies)
"An uneasy creeping feeling followed me through the book - I was never quite sure who I should be trusting - I read this book in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen next. An excellent thriller that had me hooked from the start." (Katerina Diamond, author of The Secret, on Tell Me No Lies)
"A paranoia-inducing plot that makes you question everyone! Lisa Hall’s new novel is one to get under your skin and has an ending that’ll leave you reeling." (Sam Carrington, author of Saving Sophie on Tell Me No Lies)

Good story
I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. I dislike the main character and hate all the cheating people. I didn’t really “connect” with any of the characters. I knew the bad guy well i’m advance because there was so much effort put into trying to get you to focus on everyone except him. And I didn’t like the ending. But the story was interesting.

Want a fun drinking game?
Take a drink, heck even a sip every time the narrator says the words “the party”. You will be wasted within 15 minutes. This book was pathetic, boring, meandered but seemingly went nowhere with a boring story and a droning on narrator I’m no rocket scientist but I figured out who the perpetrator was within the first four chapters.

The Party
I really enjoyed this novel and the narration was performed very well. This is my first Lisa Hall book however I would definitely try her again. my largest thing about the story line was it was very very good it was the absolute ending that left you with the cliffhanger. I believe if that cliffhanger had just been established just a little bit more in the storyline it would have took her from this audiobook being s three star storyline to a 5star storyline... otherwise it was a perfectly enjoyable title.

The Party
This one is basically another story of a British amnesiac trying to figure out who attacked her at a New Year's Eve party. While I imagine that, I, too, would be going crazy not knowing who my assailant was, this didn't keep me from being irritated at her grilling her friends and neighbors about the events of the evening. I had a pretty good idea who the bad guy was, too. It was still entertaining enough for me to finish, and, while I'm glad it ended as it did, some may not like the open-endedness of it. The narrator is good, but her voice is a bit too "little girl" for some of the content.

straight into the story and kept me intrigued
I guessed early on who the 'culprit' was but it was still a good listen. I was annoyed that obvious questions weren't asked, she didn't probe her husband at all and only asked a few questions of her friends. Also who wakes up and doesn't search for their phone after a drunk night out, especially when you lose all your photos etc. All that aside, I enjoyed the story and towards the end wanted to get back to the book as quick as I could to find out what happened.

An average book, poorly read.
The story itself was entertaining enough. However, the narration was terrible. Very little intonation used to convey the emotions being portrayed by the characters, and her ‘male’ voice was much like when a small child pretends to be a grown up.

Appalling.
This is an appalling book, so badly written, which includes every cliche around. I became so bored with this overwritten story that from chapter 11, I skipped to the last couple. Nothing seemed to have happened as this dreary, overly melodramatic rubbish reached a conclusion. The writer appeared to be someone who had done loads of creative writing courses, as she battered every cliche in the book, lots of blood coursing through veins, lots of heavy aroma of after shaves, and oh, I lost count of her male characters brushing their hands accross bristles on their faces "making scratching noises". Dire, dire, dire!!!

Not great
I am afraid to say this was a poor follow up to the previous Lisa Hall that I read. The main character was extremely irritating and very weak. There were just so many mentions of her feeling or being sick I had to skip the last few chapters as the narrator was just driving me mad. Not good I’m afraid.

Not as well written as Between You and Me
I was such a fan of Between You and Me and got this pretty eagerly. It lacked a lot of the skill of storytelling from its predecessor. I found out a lot about what was happening in her throat and whether she was feeling sick, which was basically all the time - understandable of course, after experiencing that trauma, but there are still other ways of narrating how she is feeling that doesn't seem so repetitive. Overall, I liked the story and the twists and turns of it that is classic with Lisa Hall, and enjoyed hating on certain arsehole characters! But I get the sense that this was written in a rush and not so well prepared as her debut, hence the 3 stars.

You wouldn’t need to be a detective to work this one out. Nonetheless it was a good read with a great narrator.
