After the Party
A BRAND NEW gripping psychological thriller from C. L. Swatman for fans of Lisa Jewell and Claire Douglas

Summer, 2005: Five students attend an end of year party. As dawn breaks the next day, four of the friends are preparing to leave when they realise one of the girls is missing. That's when the screaming starts.

2025: Amy is at home when there’s a knock at her door. The woman on her doorstep introduces herself as Hannah Hastings, a well-known true-crime podcaster. She’s investigating the drowning of a young woman at a party twenty years earlier. Amy slams the door, but the damage is done. And a few days later, she receives a threatening note, telling her not to speak to Hannah… or she’ll regret it.

Now, the night Amy has spent two decades trying to forget is coming back to haunt her. But this time, she’s the one in danger.

'A dark, clever and twisty page turner. I devoured it!' Claire Douglas

Praise for C. L. Swatman:

‘Breathlessly pacy. The darkest whodunnit’ S.E. Lynes

‘Brilliantly addictive read. I loved it' Valerie Keogh

'Fast paced and deliciously twisty' Keri Beevis

'A tense thriller looking at family dynamics, female friendship and nature versus nurture with plenty of surprises along the way. Loved it.' Catherine Cooper
