Clare Mackintosh, author of The Last Party

On New Year's Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of guests. His vacation homes on Mirror Lake are a success, and he's generously invited the village to drink champagne with their wealthy new neighbors. But by midnight, Rhys will be floating dead in the freezing waters of the lake. On New Year's Day, Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbors, friends and family --- and Ffion has her own secrets to protect. With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn't who wanted Rhys dead…but who finally killed him.

The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh

November 2022

THE LAST PARTY is the third Clare Mackintosh book that I have read; her first two, I LET YOU GO and I SEE YOU, were also Bets On picks. Her latest is a smartly plotted work in which she juggles both timelines and characters. Many voices tell this story. There are multiple twists. And it requires that you pay attention. It’s a great blend of police procedural and psychological thriller, and the balance between the two is part of why it works so well.

Week of July 10, 2023

Paperback releases for the week of July 10th include Maggie O'Farrell's THE MARRIAGE PORTRAIT, an unforgettable portrait of the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de' Medici as she makes her way in a troubled court in Renaissance Italy; GOING ROGUE, which reveals a new side of Stephanie Plum and shows Janet Evanovich at her scorching, riotous best; THE LAST PARTY by Clare Mackintosh, which our reviewer calls "an immensely satisfying psychological thriller. It possesses not a single major twist but rather an endless series of small revelations that will keep readers guessing right up to the last page."; Rebecca Mead's HOME/LAND, a moving reflection on the complicated nature of home and homeland, and the heartache and adventure of leaving an adopted country in order to return to your native land; and the paperback original WINDFALL, Wendy Corsi Staub's newest supense novel that finds three friends' lives terrifyingly unravel when they win a billion-dollar lottery jackpot --- and one goes missing.
