What to expect
The deeply dysfunctional Morland siblings are throwing one of their infamous parties, before it's decided which one of them will inherit their ancestral family home. Despite their usual rivalry, Kassie, Caitlin, Paul and Steven are determined it's going to be a night to remember.
But by the morning, one of their guests isn't just hungover: they're dead.
Each Morland has a motive, and they all have terrible morals, but which of them is actually a murderer?
While each sibling suspects the others of foul play, they face a choice: call the police (but risk investigation into their other illegal dealings) or work together to hide the body in the wine cellar. But unfortunately, teamwork doesn't come naturally to this family.
With Grandma on her way and the inheritance decision looming, old traumas re-surface and new threats start to claw their way out of the shadows. Who will survive until the afterparty?
★★★★★ Readers LOVE TO HATE the Morlands! ★★★★★“Oh my God what in the what?”
"Gloriously deranged. And yes, the goat absolutely steals the show"
“I now feel like I need a bath and a long lie down…”
“If ever there was a warning not to do drugs, this novel is it”
"What in the Saltburn did I just read?"
“A master class in family dysfunction”
