“In the long run, the most unpleasant truth is a far safer companion than a pleasant falsehood” – Theodore Roosevelt. This quote included at the start of this book is so fitting for this story. I’m calling it, The Night of the Party is the first book that will be part on my best books for 2022! I absolutely loved this book and devoured it in one sitting. Part of the Detective Dan Riley series, this can easily be read as a standalone, but I do encourage you to read the other fantastic books in the series so you don’t miss out! Anna-Lou Weatherley smashes this book right out of the park! Addicted right from the outset, the pages just turned themselves. A perfectly executed and clever psychological thriller with an eclectic cast of characters with so many secrets, it has been awhile since one made my blood boil as much as one does in this book! Oh and the twists! Just brilliant and jaw dropping… OK, I have stop this review right now as in my excitement I don’t want to give anything away, but I will end this with, I take my hat off to you Anna-Lou. Well played…Very well played!

Once you pick up The Night of the Party, you wont be able to put it down. I finished this book in one day. It is a dark thriller with lots of big reveals and a cast of seriously flawed characters. I won’t reveal much because I don’t want to spoil it, but this is my first book by Weatherley and I will definitely read more of her work. The execution of the plot was impeccable, there were just enough hints and foreshadowing to make each reveal believable, but not so many that the twists were too obvious. My only gripe with the book was the ending dragged out. After having trouble putting down the book all day, I was struggle to stay awake through the last two chapters. I deducted half a star for that reason and because some ideas are never fully developed or resolved (but hey, that happens with so many side stories). Overall, a great read that I will be recommending to my friends. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for a free digital copy in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review! Loved this book, what an exciting ride! No one is who they seem, including the victim. As the story unfolds you learn more about the victim, the many suspects and how their lives intersect. Such a page turner!
