Death of the Party is a wickedly sharp cozy mystery by Leela Cutter — the pen name of author Ann Montalban — set against a backdrop of cocktail parties, diamond necklaces, and dark secrets, where every guest is a suspect and every smile conceals a motive.\n\nCutter's signature style blends the genteel atmosphere of classic whodunit fiction with a dry, contemporary wit that keeps readers delightfully off-balance. The novel presents a cast of vivid, morally ambiguous characters and a plot wound tight with red herrings and unexpected reversals, cementing it as a worthy successor to Cutter's debut, Who Stole Stonehenge? The question is not simply who committed the crime — but whether Lillian can unmask the killer before the party truly ends for her as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161030729947,"sku":"2026200014381-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/06f8f0d3-b03a-4523-b8a0-87af1bdceed9.png?v=1787189429","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014381-secondhand-death-of-the-party","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
