THE PLANNING TOOK MONTHS. THE MURDER JUST MOMENTS . . .
Nadine Walsh is determined to make her summer garden party the event of the year.
Everyone deserves a celebration after the year they've had. A chance to forget.
As she prepares to welcome her guests, however, Nadine can't help but be distracted. Her husband is of little help to her. Her two grown children are consumed with their own concerns.
But it's Nadine's own secrets that threaten to destroy her perfect party.
By the end of the night, Nadine will be standing over a dead body in the basement.
But which of her guests will she have murdered? And why?

Critics Review
-
What a mad delight this book is - so seductive and twisted. Highly recommended!
Shari Lapena
-
A terrific family drama. I adored it - absolutely compulsive reading as all the family skeletons are clamouring to get out of the cupboard. I inhaled this book over twenty-four hours
Liz Nugent
-
Ominous and intimate...the rare kind of read that's a mood in itself, with tension that dances just perfectly until the end. Immersive and so sharply observed, Amy Stuart delivers a gorgeous literary thriller to devour
Ashley Audrain
-
Not only did I read this book in a single day, I read it in a single sitting...Stuart cleverly turns the classic whodunit on its head; in this case we know who the murderer is - the victim's identity is the question mark. A chilling exploration of how we cope with the things we've done, as well as those that have been done to us

A superb masterpiece. A Death At The Party brilliantly unfolds over the course of a single day, featuring a deliciously imperfect protagonist untwining her past as she prepares for the party of her life. Stuart's crisp writing and tightly paced plot made me hold my breath from the first line to the last. This is an absolutely stand-out book by a phenomenal talent
Samantha M. Bailey
-
Tense and twisting, with a sophistication that belies its darkness. A Death At The Party is much like the hostess of the titular party at its core: elegant and beautiful but hiding so many secrets. Prepare to be captivated by this masterful and shocking collision of past and present and the lies that can no longer stay buried
Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
-
For fans of Gillian Flynn and Ashley Audrain, A Death At The Party is razor-sharp and salaciously riveting. A jigsaw puzzle of a story that will hook you instantly and reward you with a shattering, satisfying conclusion
