The Party

‘Compelling, addictive…brilliant’ B A Paris It was just a party. But it turned into a nightmare.

When Rachel wakes up in a strange room, the morning after a neighbour’s party, she has no memory of what happened the night before. Why did her husband leave her alone at the party? Did they row? Why are Rachel’s arms so bruised? And why are her neighbours and friends so vague about what really happened?

Little by little, Rachel pieces together the devastating events that took place in a friend’s house, at a party where she should have been safe. Everyone remembers what happened that night differently, and everyone has something to hide. But someone knows the truth about what happened to Rachel. And she’s determined to find them.

The Party is the gripping new novel from bestseller Lisa Hall.

The Party

I really enjoyed this novel and the narration was performed very well. This is my first Lisa Hall book however I would definitely try her again. my largest thing about the story line was it was very very good it was the absolute ending that left you with the cliffhanger. I believe if that cliffhanger had just been established just a little bit more in the storyline it would have took her from this audiobook being s three star storyline to a 5star storyline... otherwise it was a perfectly enjoyable title.

Review by DeAnn DeVille

So good!

Loved the narration performance! Great story and easy to follow/listen to. This was such a good audible purchase!

Triggering for sexual assault victims

Overall, I really liked this book. I've read is twice so far. The story highlights how sexual assault victims are often blamed for the actions of their assailants. No wonder women don't come forward.

Nauseous, sour, bile…c’mon now. I felt like I accidentally hit the back 30 seconds arrow every few minutes.

Want a fun drinking game?

Take a drink, heck even a sip every time the narrator says the words “the party”. You will be wasted within 15 minutes. This book was pathetic, boring, meandered but seemingly went nowhere with a boring story and a droning on narrator I’m no rocket scientist but I figured out who the perpetrator was within the first four chapters.
