Sleighbells will not be ringing this year for friends who have gathered at a remote Scottish lake house! The snow is falling but no one will be decking the halls as Gabby has invited her friends to celebrate Christmas with her. It will be there in her lake house where they will revisit their ‘ghost’ of Christmas past. Twelve years ago, the six friends gathered to celebrate Christmas without any adult supervision. All they had to do was look after Gabby’s little sister, Seffie. They thought she was all nestled as tight as a bug in a rug up in her bedroom while they had a night of fun but in the morning, Seffie was nowhere to be found!
Come to the Lake house, Gabby said. We will all move on, Gabby said. Gabby lied! She believes that one of them knows what happened to her sister and she wants answer! Woohoo, Kathryn Croft has delivered once again!!!! The Christmas Party brings on the secrets, lies, tension, suspense and revelations! This was a fast-moving book which me guessing and coming up with my own theories only to have another twist and reveal pop up and see me starting over with my suspect list.
I had a great time reading this book. The book is told in two timelines which had me fully immersed in the book and glued to the pages. How well do you know your friends?? Could one of them be a killer?????? I loved the setting, the atmosphere, the trapped feeling and the quest for answers.
Gripping, shocking, chilling, and hard to put down! The Christmas Party is a wonderfully written, well thought out, and shocking page turner!
