Party of liars : a novel / Kelsey Cox.

Cox, Kelsey, (author.).

Summary:

"A lavish, Texas-sized Sweet Sixteen turns deadly in this twisty, pulse-pounding new novel - serving up a fresh take on a classic locked-room whodunnit. Let the festivities begin... Today is Sophie Matthews's sixteenth birthday party, an exclusive black-tie bash in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where secrets are as deep-rooted as the sprawling live oaks. Sophie's dad has spared no expense, and his renovated cliffside mansion-once thought haunted and shuttered for years from outsiders-is now hosting the event of the season. Then, just before the candles on the three-tiered red velvet cake are blown out, a body falls from the balcony onto the starlit dance floor below. It's a killer guest list... Dani: Sophie's new stepmother who's been plagued by self-doubt ever since the birth of her own baby girl; Órlaith: the superstitious Irish nanny who senses a looming danger in this cavernous house; Mikayla: the birthday girl's best friend who is not nearly as meek as the popular kids assume; Kim: the cunning ex-wife who has a grudge she can't let go of... Everyone is invited in. Not everyone will get out alive." -- Provided by publisher.
