The Bachelorette Party by Sandra Block
You’re invited to The Bachelorette Party, Sandra Block’s newest thrill-ride, where fact and fiction collide in a startling fashion, and nothing is quite as it seems.
Alex is a true crime devotee researching the infamous 666 serial killer. She has the perfect life: a dream internship on a popular cable TV journalism show, and a smoking-hot, ultra-wealthy fiancé. Even better, her friends set up a “true crime” bachelorette slumber party at the very site of the 666 murders. Melody (a literal drama queen working in NYC theater) and Lainey (a professional basketball player, described as a six-foot-tall Grumpy), have gone to great lengths to honor their friend, and fun is had by all—that is until Alex wakes up in the middle of the night with blood on her hands and her best friends missing.
A Dangerous Quest in Blizzard Conditions
Trapped in her own true crime story, Alex is left with more questions than answers. What happened during the bachelorette party? Did she hurt them herself while acting out one of her frequent, violent dreams? Did the 666 Killer escape from jail? Has the real killer been hiding out all along? Armed with a backpack, a map, and a flashlight—but no cell phone—Alex makes the treacherous journey through blizzard conditions to follow the clues in an effort to save her friends and herself. But the endeavor is anything but simple, especially when the demented woman at the nearby farmhouse seems more sinister than helpful and the man who picks her up hitch-hiking turns out to be no savior.
A Mystery Full of Shocking Twists
The Bachelorette Party is told in dual timelines, dangling clues in the past and present while turning the spotlight on suspicious characters from Alex’s entire life. As the tension skyrockets and twist after twist propels the narrative forward at a frantic pace, readers will struggle to turn the pages fast enough. And nestled at the heart of the story is a mystery within the mystery. The 666 Killer has maintained his innocence all along, and as her own life unravels, Alex finds herself wondering what really happened all those years ago. Under the auspices of her internship, she tries to solve the decade-old murder through prison interviews, combing through police files, and searching out the victim’s family and friends. Alex starts to wonder if he is telling the truth, and he might just be innocent after all.
A Thrilling Ride of Mystery and Heartfelt Drama
Filled with shocking twists, strong female characters, and plenty of mystery to keep even the most seasoned reader trying to guess the ending, The Bachelorette Party delivers a thrill ride of a read. It’s fun, surprising, and unexpectedly heartfelt as Block explores themes of friendship, independence, and navigating the tricky landscape of new adulthood while following a map of bloody clues.
If you’re in the mood for a shocking whodunnit that will have you wondering what on earth just happened to Alex and her friends, look no further than The Bachelorette Party. Block’s chilly tale will keep you guessing as you race toward the twisted truth.
