Sometimes you just need an easy thriller to enjoy, and this definitely scratched that itch for me. The Bachelorette Party is filled with a cast of unlikable women who head to New Orleans got, you guessed it, a bachelorette party. The descriptions of New Orleans were easily the best part of this book - I love the city & know it well, so it was fun to read about it!

I enjoyed that this book spent the first half building up the characters and their general interactions with one another, and then the second half focused more on the criminal investigation following the murder.

To me, this was brain candy. It was a fun piece of escapism where I didn’t need to think too hard. I had a good time reading it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, slightly suspenseful story.

didn't hate this book, but I didn't love it. I did enjoy the characters, even though I hated most of them. I'm sure that was the feeling the author wanted to invoke. This was a whodunit mystery/thriller that was set in New Orleans. This was quick read that held my attention. I really wanted to know what happened. I really liked the detective's character. The ending fell flat for me and there was no "wow" factor. That's something that I look forward to in my thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for this ARC in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

Was so excited to read this thriller set in the fun city of New Orleans. From the start you know it will be a chaotic trip based on the personalities of each of the women and that death has occurred. The book was told from the different perspectives of all the characters attending the bachelorette party allowing you to decide who you think the villain is in the story. A fast paced thriller that was easy to read! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

This book was genuinely fun and intriguing to read. I appreciated the many plots and twists in the book and I enjoyed it a lot.

Wow this was genuinely such a super fun and fast paced mystery/thriller book for me, and I think this is genuinely such an underrated book in my opinion!

I really loved the New Orleans setting of this book for this bachelorette party themed story, while also being totally invested with the dynamic of these characters relationships toward each other as the plot went on. I love how the book is broken up into separate parts with them being the events leading up to the murder, after the murder takes place, and then the aftermath of what happens after everything dies down. Overall, I really enjoyed the fact that there was a cliffhanger essentially after every chapter which just made me want to keep reading to see what would happen next, and the crazy twists and turns that were in this book absolutely had my jaw on the floor. Also, nothing could have prepared me for the ending of this book at all!

Thank you so much to HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and NetGalley for a copy of this book!

A very quick read with short chapters makes this book readable in just a day. Going in blind, the cover alone would have you interested to know what happens inside. Once inside, you're met with 6 women... all very dramatic & several unlikeable, attending a bachelorette party in the hustle and bustle of New Orleans.

Rosalee is about to marry the man of her dreams. But first, she needs to get through her dreaded bachelorette party in New Orleans with her best-friend, cousin, finace's best-friend, future sister-in-law, and future monster-in... I mean mother-in-law. But when a truth or dare game gets way to intense, secrets come out and death follows in.
This is a 6+ POV story, but do not let that intimidate you! I was nervous at first but I actually really enjoyed hearing all the point of views of each character. It had me on my toes and guessing until the very end.
For fans of the following tropes: Monster-in-law, forced proximity murders, vacation murders, and murder mysteries.

A quick, pulpy murder mystery. This would be a great summer read when you're wanting something just a little bit dark.

Six women are in New Orleans for a weekend bachelorette party. And by the end of the weekend, one of them will be dead, and one will be a murderer.

But I wouldn't call the women friends. And everyone has a reason to want someone else dead.

I loved the premise of this book. I loved the cast of characters and the fact that I couldn't figure out which of them was dead, which was the murderer. Usually I'm better as sousing things out, but with this book, I just had no idea.

I also loved the backdrop, the city of New Orleans, where basically anything can happen. I've always wanted to visit, but haven't been able to, so getting to traipse through the city through the eyes of the characters was a fun escape.

I will say that I wish I had more information on the background of the home, because that absolutely would have added some flavor. And the little twist at the end didn't quite stick the landing.

Nonetheless, this was a great book to finish and my first review of 2024. I highly recommend this if you have a few hours on a flight.

A bachelorette weekend with memorable characters, tension, and murder - this is a fast-paced whodunit with lots of twists and suspense. There are a lot of characters, and while it took me a couple chapters to remember who was who, they were so well-developed it was easy to catch up early on. I felt that I was a bystander at this bachelorette party, watching everything unfold - it was so good!

Fun, fast-paced mystery. Multiple points of view add depth to the narrative, making it exceptionally gripping. The characters, are compelling, flawed, and thoroughly entertaining. The entire story is a rollercoaster of twists and turns that keeps you on edge until the final page. Great read.

Though this book was done in multi-pov, which I am a big fan of, it felt like the characters jumped around to much and some details got lost during the story. I think because this is such a quick read and has short chapters, it falls flat on some of the details of the characters, important information, and the murder itself.

I really enjoyed reading the dynamic between each character, their baggage and red flags, and the twists and turns they all brought to the story line. And the cover is very pretty!

Overall, this is a super quick read with a good twist. I would enjoy reading more from this author.
Thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the gifted ARC.

So good! Loved reading the different perspectives and loved the twists and turns. Easy read and so good!

Liked the thriller and the mystery of not knowing who was killed under the back third of the book. I wish we had more of New Orleans but overall good story!

I ended up really liking this one! I know that bachelorette party thrillers are a dime a dozen, but this one was very well done and kept me guessing. I loved all the alternating POVs. The author putting each person’s role at the beginning of each chapter was so helpful in keeping all the characters straight. I also liked that we didn’t know which of the women had been killed right away. It reminded me a bit of One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose. If you like domestic thrillers full of catty women, I think you’d like this one too.

4.5/5 stars

This was a fun one, and a fast read. Fast paced and entertaining, I devoured this one pretty quickly. Not only did the mystery sustain you to the end, but the characters, flawed, as they may be, were relateable. I feel like we all know characters like this so it really brought the story to life.

The pacing of this books is wonderful. It stays high energy throughout. The tense energy is consistent. The clues are dropped at good intervals. I really enjoyed trying to solve the mystery.

A locked room whodunnit that’s entertaining and sassy. It would’ve benefitted by being a bit longer and fleshed out, but fun to read nonetheless. 3.5 stars.

Thx to NetGalley for the arc of this murder mystery. It was an easy read and a clear who dunnit. It was fun and enjoyable but it had its flaws, as well. I don’t know if it’s just because it’s an early version but there were a few glaring errors. Times when the timeline or names were mixed up-just basic errors that wouldn’t fly in a high school writing class. I did not love the introduction of the detective in the second half of the book in order to ask questions and spell it out for the reader. I’m not huge on detectives anyway but to sneak one in when I had been reading about a group of women getting drunk was just sneaky. The combo of those two flaws made it feel very elementary.

Seriously the best book! I really enjoyed these characters and appreciated the authors writing
I highly recommend this book! Five stars!!
