Four friends. A party to die for. One killer surprise.
As birthday girl Joanne turns forty, no one wants to celebrate her special day, or play along with her idea of a fun party—a weekend away in a cozy cottage in the woods. But as her friends reluctantly gather round her it quickly becomes clear that there is more to Joanne’s birthday weekend, because Joanne is planning to reveal a secret that one of her friends is hiding…A beautiful cottage in the middle of the countryside sounds idyllic—until no one can hear your cries for help. And when Joanne’s party turns into a murder scene, one of the party guests must be the killer. As secrets unravel, the rest of Jo’s friends face a race against time to discover the murderer, before they are next on the killer’s guest list…
If you have a hard time defining the suspense genre you’re not alone. While mystery, thriller, and suspense do have distinctions and tropes specific to their genre, many also use elements from the other genre(s) making it more difficult for readers to easily distinguish the genres. And since many readers also recognize suspense more by the “feel” of it, it can be hard to put into words. For me the easiest way to separate the genres is that mysteries rely on a puzzle or whodunnit that its character(s) are trying to solve; thrillers are fast-paced and oftentimes contain action movie type scenes; suspense puts you on the edge of your seat by building tension on the idea of what might happen. While many must-read suspense lists have many of the same well known titles, I thought I’d go with suspenseful titles that definitely had me turning the page but maybe haven’t hit your radar. Hope you enjoy having to stay up late playing the just-one-more-chapter game.
