The Party at No 12 [Audiobook] by Kerry Wilkinson

 


Narrated by Tamsin Kennard and Andrew Kingston


Description from Goodreads:

"Hannah smiles at her guests. In this grand house rented specially for the evening, everyone admires the sparkling chandelier and raises a glass to say goodbye before Hannah moves away from this little town for good.
But the next day, one of them lies cold and lifeless in their bed…

The day of her leaving party, Hannah Ford is nervous. With so many secrets and lies over the years between her friends, and arguments between her sisters, is it really a good idea to gather everyone together? But her mother insists that, after Hannah’s divorce and job struggles, she deserves a send-off to remember. So they all plaster on fake smiles and put aside their rifts for an evening of celebrations.

In the morning, one of the guests is found dead.

Hannah is desperate to tell the police. But every single guest has something to hide, or someone to protect. The group insists: they will deal with this themselves.

After all, it must have been an accident. Perhaps too much wine, on a night where emotions were running high.

But what if it wasn’t?

And what if this was just the first victim?"

When a group of women get together for a going-away party, there is likely to be some drama or other but no one could predict what was going to happen at No 12.

"Everyone’s invited. Someone will never leave."

This was entertaining.  I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The narrators did a great job of portraying each of the different characters; they drew me in and kept me there until the end.

The characters are an interesting bunch of people; not particularly likeable but interesting nonetheless.  The plot is engaging with the requisite twists and turns which keeps you guessing and the pace is good.

Overall, an enjoyable listen and whilst I haven't read or listened to anything by this author before, I will certainly keep an eye out in the future.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for my audio copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
