The one that won’t make it home alive . . .

The tents are up. The bonfire is lit. Get ready for one hell of a party.

Critic Reviews

‘Every page of this gripping and atmospheric crime novel crackles with tension ... I devoured every word of this brilliant, emotionally-charged story. A rock solid five star read!’ (Rae Cairns, author of Dying To Know)

‘You expect drama when old friends get together, but this is next level! The Search Party layers sharp observations of friendship and family dynamics over ever-increasing tension and danger. Richell adeptly delivers multiple points of view and timelines, propelling the reader through the pages, screaming the questions: who died? And who did it?' (Michelle Prak, author of The Rush)
