11.6.2022 - The Last Party

The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the newest book by a favorite, Clare Mackintosh.  5 stars!

Rhys Lloyd hosts a big party on New Year's Eve to celebrate the beginning success of new investment properties on Mirror Lake.  The properties are on the border of England and Wales, and are a huge bone of contention with the Welsh townspeople, so Rhys extends an invitation to some of them as well.  But by midnight, Rhys is dead.  And pretty much everyone had a reason to kill him.

Clare Mackintosh is such a skillful writer - if you haven't read I Let You Go, you must!  Still one of my very top favorites.  And this one is another winner and it kept me turning the pages as quickly as I could.  We are introduced to Detectives Leo Brady and Ffion Morgan, from different departments brought together to investigate this murder.  There are a lot of characters, pretty much all suspects, and we hear from many of them, including past timeframes, and everyone has secrets.  More good news - this is the first in a series featuring Ffion Morgan - can't wait to read more!
