'If you think you’ve read every possible twist in a psychological thriller… think again' ★★★★★ Netgalley reviewer
––––––––––––––––––––––––––A killer on the dance floor.
A party that must go on…
Working as a podium dancer at the city’s most glamorous nightclub used to make Cara feel alive. Now, she’s tired of rude punters and petty staff grievances, and is ready to leave this life behind.
But when she finds her friend and fellow dancer, Lottie, drenched in blood, everything changes. Because when Cara runs to get help, she discovers that the doors are jammed and communication has been cut off.
With a killer on the loose, it’s down to Cara to untangle a deadly web of lies – including who left the note next to Lottie’s body that reads: The party must go on, or more of you will die.
This heart-pounding locked-room thriller is ideal for fans of Lisa Jewell and Lucy Foley.
