Party of Liars - Kelsey Cox

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--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. My favorite kind of thriller - fun, twisty, fast-paced, and populated by characters who feel so real you'll want to invite them (well, some of them) to your next party.
