If you’ve ever fantasized about hosting the perfect dinner party, right up until someone drops dead in the soup that is, then Death at the Dinner Party by Ellie Alexander is your next binge read. Picture it: candlelight, fine wine, sparkling conversation… and a corpse. It’s social climbing meets crime-solving, and it’s so much more fun than awkward small talk about real estate.
Alexander, queen of cozy intrigue, whisks you straight into a world of elegant chaos where secrets are as plentiful as hors d'oeuvres. Every guest has something to hide, every clue feels like a juicy bit of gossip, and the pacing is brisk enough to keep you from refilling your glass too often.
Think the 1980s movie Clue but with better catering, and a heroine you actually want to share dessert with. It’s charming, twisty, and just the right blend of sophistication and scandal. Like a dinner you’ll be talking about long after the plates are cleared.
Annie Murray is excited to host a murder mystery–themed dinner party, but soon the evening takes a deadly turn…
When her friend Penny confesses she's struggling to finance the restoration of the historic Wentworth farmhouse, Annie is instantly inspired. The beautiful property has stood empty since the 1970s, but rumors still swirl about the eccentric Wentworth family and their hidden fortune. It's the perfect setting for a spooky, immersive dinner party, and the evening is a roaring success – until neighboring landowner Curtis Wright drops dead at the dining table…
Annie knows she didn't add arsenic to the entrée, so who messed with her catering, and why? Everyone in the party had some reason to hate renowned bully Curtis – not least Penny, who was under pressure to sell land to him. Annie realizes she'll need to clear her friend's name fast. Soon, she's in deep, uncovering long-buried family secrets, shady business deals and pitch-black hidden passageways.
But as Annie closes in on the truth, the killer is determined to stop her at all costs. Will justice be served in time, or will Annie get a helping of death with dessert…?
Packed with twists, turns and charming small-town intrigue, Death at the Dinner Party is a deliciously page-turning, cozy mystery that will keep you guessing.
