A Death at the Party by Amy Stuart

2.0

Wow what an interesting read. The book opens up with Nadine in the basement bathroom with some man that it appears she is responsible for him dying. Then the book starts at the beginning of the day and takes the reader through Nadine’s morning, afternoon, and then evening. I liked that the book all took place during the one day of the incident. I also enjoyed trying to figure out who the man she killed was because it felt like there were many possibilities until the end. I enjoyed the pacing of the book but the ending felt abrupt to me. We don’t get to see the aftermath of the death being discovered or if Nadine was suspected of doing the killing. Additionally Nadine had an affair with Lionel prior to the timeline of the book but it makes it hard to root for the main character when she cheated on her husband, Paul, for months. Especially because throughout the book she keeps thinking or and then talking to Lionel.
