The Party

By: Nora Valters

Narrated by: Lucy Price-Lewis

Ruth loves her life in London—she has a high-powered career and a handsome and successful fiancé. This Christmas, she’s bringing him back to her home town to meet her family and school friends, one of whom, Holly Murphy, has a new baby.

But, as the Christmas Eve party is in full swing, the unthinkable happens—Ruth drops the baby, injuring the little boy.

Or did she?

Ruth becomes convinced she didn’t cause the baby’s injuries, that they were inflicted before the party, that the Murphys are not the lovely family they appear to be.

Determined to discover what really happened to the child, Ruth digs for the truth. And won’t stop even when she’s shunned by her old friends, alienated from her fiancé, and sacked from her dream job.

But are her suspicions justified? Or is she in the grip of a deadly obsession that threatens to utterly destroy her perfect life?

Favorite narrator

Good story with twists you don’t expect. In love with this narrator’s accent and voice.

Wild ride

Usually you can spot the ending around chapter 10, but this one had me questioning the entire time. Great story with lots of twists and turns

started very strong then went downhill

At first I was totally hooked and couldn't wait until the next time I got to listen to it but a little less than halfway through, the story got stretchy . The premise of an old friend going to these crazy lengths to find out if a baby is being abused was very unrealistic but the ending was just absurd.

Absolutely absurd

This is the most ridiculous book. Apparently any book can be published. Lucy Price Lewis is absolutely amazing and I can’t believe she would be willing to narrate such a crap book.
