Sophie Matthews is celebrating her sweet sixteen with an extravagant birthday party. Her stepmother, Dani, has made a fabulous cake, and her mother Kim, promised not to overindulge in the champagne. All of Sophie's friends are invited. Plus, her father has invited locals from the nearby community, who can't wait to get a glimpse inside the famous Matthews estate. It should be the perfect celebration. But underneath the smiles and well wishes of the guests, there are secrets. Everyone seems to have at least one. Even Mikayla, Sophie's best friend, is hiding one. As well as the mysterious nanny. As the party gets into full swing, the guests enjoy the Texas hospitality of Sophie's family when a body falls from the balcony onto the dance floor. Will all the dark secrets be revealed?
Party of Liars is intense, unexpected, and addictive. The author has a wonderful way of creating tense drama and combining sweet Southern charm with devilish details. I loved the complex characters and suspense-filled setting. This is the perfect summer read for anyone looking for a mystery with an unexpected ending.
