Description

Raves for the hottest thriller of 2023!

"This is wicked fun." --Publishers Weekly

“Absolutely amazing. Readers are going to flip!” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of ONE STEP TOO FAR

"Like a firecracker on a hot summer night . . . If you like my novels, you’ll love THE BLOCK PARTY.” ―Elin Hilderbrand, #1 Bestselling author of THE HOTEL NANTUCKET

This summer, meet your neighbors.

The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other.

On the night of the annual Summer block party, there has been a murder.

But, who did it and why takes readers back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold—discovering that the real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.

    I read this book because Elin Hilderbrand recommended it. I felt like I knew each of the characters, they were all really well developed. In the author’s acknowledgments, she wrote that it was her personal challenge to keep the suspense going with an overly complex plot. I think she achieved exactly that. I felt like I was reading an episode, no— a season of Desperate Housewives. I mean that in a positive way. I will definitely be looking into whatever else this writer has written, or will write. P.S. I don’t often feel compelled to write a review.
  • Loads of fun…

    I didn’t love this book. It was entertaining and an easy read for times when you want to dive into the shallows.
  • Love this Block Party!

    Long and involved, with an expected ending. Much happening in this particular neighborhood, most not good and some maturing, which was needed. This is a good read, I did find myself wishing it would move along in places. The Wookie, and the Bug Man evidently made the rounds. Lol.
