What to expect
Question: How long does it take to tear someone's life apart?
Answer: Sometimes just one night.
From the outside the parents of the kindergarten class at Darley Heights primary school seem to have it all. Living in the wealthy Sydney suburbs, it's a community where everyone knows each other - and secrets don't stay secret for long.
The big date in the calendar is the school's annual fundraising trivia night, but when the evening gets raucously out of hand, talk turns to partner-swapping. Initially scandalised, it's not long before a group of parents make a reckless one-night-only pact.
But in the harsh light of day, those involved must face the fallout of their behaviour. As they begin to navigate the shady aftermath of their wild night, the truth threatens to rip their perfect lives apart - and revenge turns fatal.
THE TRIVIA NIGHT is a gripping, domestic debut novel full of shocking reveals, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.

Critics Review
-
Unputdownable from the very first page, The Trivia Night was spookily familiar, funny, and darkly captivating. I loved it
Sally Hepworth -
Gossip, scandal and intrigue – this twisty tale is deliciously naughty and addictive. A great new voice in fiction.
Veronica Henry -
A delicious read that takes a social event many of us have experienced – the innocuous school trivia night – and infuses it with bad decisions, illicit desire and danger. Perceptive, suspenseful and all too realistic, you will see yourself in these characters and be at once shocked and understanding of their actions.
B.M. Carroll -
Sex, lies and intrigue abound in this gripping and often hilarious story of suburban marriages in crisis, self discovery and school gates culture. If you’ve ever wondered about swinging, if you’re dying to find out what a school parents’ partner swap looks like, if you love a glimpse into the seemingly perfect lives of others, this is the absorbing weekend binge read for you
Anna Downes -
Sexy, funny, excruciating – a smart thriller about couples and school gate neurosis. I couldn’t put this down
Harriet Walker -
An addictive read about marriage, friendships, parent politics and the consequences of one unexpectedly wild night at a school fundraiser. I loved the voices of the three different women who tell the story and the secrets, lies and scandals that unfold irresistibly throughout
