On a bright summer afternoon in Maple Falls, Kathy Hamilton leaves her young daughter at a family birthday party and drives away believing she is safe. Hours later, the little girl has vanished. No one saw her leave. No one noticed anything strange.
As the search widens, cracks begin to form in the picture-perfect Hamilton family. Kathy’s husband hides small inconsistencies, and her eldest daughter grows withdrawn and secretive. The truth behind the disappearance begins to reveal the darkness beneath their suburban lives.
The Birthday Party is a gripping psychological thriller about buried secrets and the illusions of safety. 4.4 stars on Amazon and 4.3 on Goodreads. Perfect for readers of Lisa Jewell, Teresa Driscoll, and Gone Girl.
