DESCRIPTION:
“McAllister is the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations.” — Emily Henry
From the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes an electrifying thriller about three siblings torn apart by the cover-up of a death while on a family vacation in Italy.
On vacation in Europe, Frannie makes two urgent phone calls. One to her sister, and one to her brother. The siblings come running, and they find their sister covered in blood, kneeling over an unmoving body.
There’s been an accident: Frannie has hit a man with her car, and she needs their help. They bury the body, and they make a promise. They’ll never tell anyone.
But when the police come calling, the siblings’ lies start to spiral. They begin to doubt their trust in each other. Because what really happened that night?
And who will be the first to crack?
With the incredible twists and turns and a unique look at family relationships that McAllister has become known for, That Night is the ultimate summer thriller that asks: what would you do to protect your family?

MY THOUGHTS:
Cathy, Frankie and Joe share a secret. The siblings are on vacation in Italy and Cathy and Joe receive a panicked call from their sister. When Frankie hits a man with her car, it really was an accident, but in a state of panic, she calls her siblings - not the police. Very quickly, they form a pact. They will bury the body and never tell anyone about it.
Many thanks to William Morrow, HarperAudio and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
