After the Party has an intriguing premise - your crush confesses their love for someone else and that person ends up missing. Unfortunately that's where the positivity ends. The novel was filled with detail after detail about what the main character, Lizzie, was doing, how she felt, what other people were doing. I was so bored. It also didn't help that everyone was awful! I hated Lizzie who couldn't make a decision and had to rely on others to think for her. It was a mystery that she was so invested in finding out what had happened with Rebecca, since their interactions showed that they didn't have a friendship or even really liked each other. Then there was Dean (Lizzie's crush). No idea why Lizzie had a crush on him. He had no redeeming qualities at all.

The show is striking. It’s beautifully shot across a large array of exteriors and interiors in a way that conjures a suburban village familiar to any New Zealander and that will authentically resonate beyond (it’s scheduled to play on ABC and ITV not long after its New Zealand premiere). The plot is almost too determined to keep the viewer guessing – at its midpoint we’re no closer to having a bead on what really happened that night. We might never, and that’s a good thing – but it’s also true that the fealty to realism also means the show drags a little at times. Part family saga, part half-hearted guilt-memoir - what really gives this book its fascination is the setting of the story amongst adherents of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists in 1938. Aniq and Zoë are celebrating one year together following last season's events. They attend the wedding of Zoë's sister, Grace, to an eccentric Silicon Valley businessman named Edgar. When Edgar and his pet lizard Roxana are found dead the following morning, Aniq calls Danner for help. Danner, who left the police to write a book about Xavier's murder, agrees. Over the phone, Aniq tells her his side of the story, with the same romcom tone of the testimony he gave a year prior. Aniq also tells Danner he did not want to call the police out of concern for Grace, whom he witnessed put something in Edgar's drink the night before.

First, the writing is very good. It kept me reading all the way through, even if I had other reservations. I would read another story by this author, for sure. Chapman, Wilson (March 3, 2022).

The ending left me with more questions than answers, characters I didn't expect to be instrumental to the missing character and Lizzie to my mind with the wrong person.

I found this book addictive and compelling. Every time I set it down I found myself wondering WTF happened to Rebecca. Did Lizzy know more than she was saying?

Worried that Aniq is not being impartial during their inquiries, Danner tells him a cautionary tale about a case she dealt with prior to the wedding. Told in the style of an erotic thriller, Danner was investigating a series of arsons that led her to a suspect's psychiatrist named Quentin Devereaux. Danner initially wanted Devereaux's help in examining the mind of an arsonist, but the two began a sexual relationship that caused Danner to question her instincts. Devereaux later revealed himself as the true arsonist, and he left Danner to die after setting his house on fire. Despite getting rescued by Culp, Danner quit the force out of shame for losing focus and letting Devereaux escape. Danner also admits she hasn't begun writing her book on the Xavier case because she lost faith in herself. When the story ends, Aniq promises to help Danner regain her confidence. Meanwhile, Travis microdoses himself with the datura, showing how easy it would have been for anyone to poison Edgar with it.

When a job offer in London promises to launch her art career she finally feels ready to upend her life in pursuit of her dream … until the night of the office Christmas party when Dean confesses his love for someone else – Rebecca, one of Lizzie’s closest friends. The narration was mostly good, but Dean's voice was robotic and made me almost laugh every time he spoke (then again it kinda matched his personality)!
