Synopsis

At midnight, one of them is dead. By morning, all of them are suspects.

It's the party to end all parties . . . but not everyone is here to celebrate.

On New Year's Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of guests. His vacation homes on Mirror Lake are a success, and he's generously invited the village to drink champagne with their wealthy new neighbors.

But by midnight, Rhys will be floating dead in the freezing waters of the lake.

On New Year's Day, Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbors, friends and family—and Ffion has her own secrets to protect.

With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn't who wanted Rhys dead . . . but who finally killed him.

In a village with this many secrets, murder is just the beginning.

Goodreads review by Nilufer

This is a mind-spinning, complex, and deeply layered small-town murder mystery! I’m a big fan of the author. Normally, if any other writer created a slow-burn mystery with a large cast of characters, I’d have second thoughts about continuing the story and might even switch to another book. But the ric......more

Goodreads review by Meredith (Trying to catch up!)

A Solid Start 3.65 stars “Is anyone at The Shore who they appear to be?” The Last Party is a procedural mystery about the murder of a hateful man at a New Year's Eve Party. The suspect list is long ….and the number of secrets surrounding the murder is even longer. The plot centers on solving the murd......more

The icy waters of Mirror Lake (Llyn Drych) separate the English shores from the Welsh village of Cwm Coed. And, the residents of each side of the lake couldn’t be more different. The locals on the Welsh side, celebrate New Year’s Eve by plunging into the “always cold” waters of the lake. Their new,......more
