The Night of the Party by Anna-Lou Weatherley

Really enjoyed the book overall, well written and the story kept me hooked. Really makes you think about how you perceive relationships and how they are viewed to the outside world.
I think I guessed it was the mums friend who pushed her down the stairs around the time they said they wore the same perfume. It never sat quite right that the mum would do it she was too doting and single minded in her opinion of her daughter.
I also worked out who the killer was couple of chapters before the end, just from a couple of lines in a chapter which made me think I know where this going.
Lost a star because I don’t like that they made the autistic girl the killer, who is 12 and has a mental age of a child a lot younger.
I think it adds to the misrepresentation of autistic people in the media and it’s not something I am comfortable with.
