Welcome to the Fowley Estate and the party everyone is dying to get an invite to! 

I really enjoyed this destination thriller with a difference. 

Amelia's sister Rose is missing, and was last seen at the party event of year. The police aren't interested in helping so Ameila takes matters into her own hands and we follow along as she embarks on a mission to find her sister. 

Invitation to the next party secured, we land in remote Norway surrounded by dark forestry and deep fjords. At the luxurious and decadent manor estate, a 3 day lavish and hedonistic party unfolds as the bodies start piling up and Ameila starts her investigations. 

I liked Ameila and admired her bravery and tenacity (even if she did make me nervous!) The Fowley family were a really interesting dynamic and the seemingly unlikeable brothers are characterised brilliantly. 

Tightly plotted, well paced and full of twists and red herrings - it keeps you guessing throughout. I loved the ending and did not see it coming at all! The Serial Killers Party is fun and thrilling. 

Definitely a book to pack in your suitcase this summer! Perfect for fans of authors like Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware and Alice Feeney.
