BLOG TOUR - The Christmas Party


DESCRIPTION:

On a cold winter’s night, a little girl went missing. What really happened at the Christmas party?


Twelve years ago, the six of us were young and carefree, getting ready to celebrate Christmas. We had the house to ourselves: no parents, nobody telling us to behave. We just had to look after Seffie, my friend Gabby’s little sister. We thought she was tucked up safely in her lilac pyjamas, sleeping through the music. We were wrong. The next morning, when we went to wake her, her bed was empty. She was never seen again. And no one ever found out why… 


Twelve years later, I receive a call from Gabby, inviting me to spend Christmas at her remote Scottish lake house. None of us have spoken since the night that Seffie disappeared, and part of me knows I shouldn’t go.


But Gabby says we need to be together to help us move on. Yet as soon as I arrive, it becomes clear that she has another reason to bring us all together. She claims one of us knows what happened to her little sister. And, as a snowstorm traps us in the house, she’ll stop at nothing to get to the truth…


An absolutely gripping novella from an Amazon No.1 bestselling author. Strap yourself in for a totally twisty page-turner that will leave you gasping for breath. Fans of The Housemaid and Lisa Jewell will be hooked on The Christmas Party.

MY THOUGHTS:

In this pulse-pounding novella by Kathryn Croft, a heartbreaking secret comes to light. Twelve years ago, a Christmas party attended by six unsupervised teens resulted in the disappearance of Gabby’s sister, Seffie. Now, it’s another holiday party, and the same group of six is gathered. This time, Gabby is determined to find answers.

With a winter storm trapping the small group, no one is leaving without Gabby finding out what happened to Seffie. As a lover of suspense, I was treated to the perfect story with this book. 

This cleverly written novella seamlessly switches between then and now, creating an atmosphere of tension that never lets up. The setting of a winter storm adds to the intensity of the story, making it impossible to put down. Croft’s rich atmosphere, compelling characters, and a captivating whodunnit make this one-sitting story a must-read. 

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
