With this debut, Kelsey Cox joins my auto-buy list forever!" --Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author "I couldn't put it down! Party of Liars brings the gothic house mystery to Texas, featuring a killer cast, heart-pumping pace, and well-plotted twists and turns." --Nina Simon, New York Times bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night " Party of Liars explodes from page one: a stunning debut, a riveting page-turner, a brilliant exploration of motherhood and female desire. Every character is rich and complex, and I was stunned by the jaw-dropping twist at the end. This is the novel I'm always wanting to read: dazzling, terrifying, achingly beautiful. Cox is a major new voice, and I can't wait to read what she writes next." --Amanda Eyre Ward, bestselling author of Lovers and Liars and The Jetsetters "Party of Liars is Rebecca meets Big Little Lies --an intoxicating alchemy that's haunting, surprising, and eerie. I couldn't put down this searing exploration of madness, motherhood, and memory, set against a jaw-dropping background of Texas wealth and privilege. Kelsey Cox is a stunning talent who brings deep human insight to bear with expertly crafted and unpredictable twists. This is the thriller of the summer." --Katie Gutierrez, bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know " Party of Liars with its stunning prose and simmering tension is a mesmerizing story that's part gothic horror, part psychological thriller, part contemporary glitz--the narrative is masterfully woven with plenty of twists, and deftly handles heavier subjects like postpartum depression, manipulation, and abuse. Kelsey Cox's debut is exquisite and dripping with dread--I absolutely adored it." --Ashley Tate, international bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes "Dizzying and dazzling, Cox's debut slices through the saccharine sweetness of poisonous secrets to reveal the spongy heart of blood-soaked truths... A party to die for." --Lindy Ryan, author of Bless Your Heart "With its beautiful but deadly setting and a complex, interconnected web of characters, Party of Liars is a page-turner equal parts juicy and poignant. The mystery is deliciously twisty, anchored by Kelsey Cox's gorgeous writing, but the real heart of the story lies with its complicated women and their sacrifices, both seen and invisible. Secrets and lies abound, readers won't know who to believe, and they will relish every shocking, unpredictable second. I predict this party will be the talk of the town." --Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Till Death Do Us Part and The Girls Are All So Nice Here, AN INDIE NEXT PICK Most Anticipated by Goodreads * Fresh Fiction * Bookish "Cox weaves a complex plot that will keep readers guessing until the last minute.
