The Party by Elizabeth Day

5.0

Well written, compulsively readable novel resembling a Donna Tartt-esque character study told in a non linear timeline with different perspectives. Excellent pacing and fascinating voyeuristic quality of writing showcase Elizabeth Day's considerable talent in this story of obsession and hidden motivations of mostly unlikeable characters. Novels like this always remind me that characters in books aren't always meant to be likeable but should be thought provoking. This certainly fit the bill and I will be checking out Day's other novels.
