The Party to End All Parties

***** Readers LOVE TO HATE the Morlands! *****

“I now feel like I need a bath and a long lie down…”

“If ever there was a warning not to do drugs, this novel is it”

"What in the Saltburn did I just read?"

“A master class in family dysfunction”

“Oh my God what in the what?”

"Gloriously deranged. And yes, the goat absolutely steals the show"

The disgustingly rich and grossly dysfunctional Morland siblings are throwing one of their infamous parties, before it's decided which one of them will take over their ancestral family home. Despite their rivalry, Kassie, Caitlin, Paul and Steven are determined it's going to be a night to remember.

But by the morning, one of their guests isn't just hungover: they're dead.

The Morlands each have a motive, and they all have dubious morals. But which of them is actually a murderer?

While all of them suspect the others, the siblings face a choice: call the police (but risk investigation into their other illegal dealings) or work together to hide the body in the wine cellar. They choose badly.

Unfortunately, teamwork doesn't come naturally to this family. With Grandma on her way and the inheritance decision looming, old traumas re-surface and new threats start to claw their way out of the shadows…

Who will survive until the afterparty?

“Family drama so toxic it should come with a biohazard label. […] Characters you love to hate: petty, venomous, and so self‑absorbed they’d probably step over your body on the way to brunch”
