98 New Mystery Books That'll Have You on the Edge of Your Seat

Jamie Day instills mistrust in one's neighbors in "The Block Party," the story of a summer celebration gone wrong. The exclusive community of Melbrook has gathered for a Memorial Day party, and all the central players of their neighborhood are present, including widowed Brooke; Mandy, a struggling mom; real estate agent Emily; and Emily's sister, Alex, an event planner. Instead of enjoying Blood Marys, everyone is accused of bloody murder when a body turns up, and the police set their sights on the women of the socialite community. As each woman's motivations for arriving at the party arises, Day's debut proves to be a masterful performance of sleight of hand.
