A thriller I couldn't keep my hands off of the moment I started reading. Murder at the block party? Sign me up! It gave secrets, lies, and betrayal (aka all the drama I could ask for).

It’s the summer and the cul-de-sac is throwing their annual Block Party. Over the years it has been a fun event, where all the neighbors get involved. Adults and kids alike partake in all the activities. This year though, things are different. The night of the party, there is a murder and all of the neighborhood secrets unravel. The lies and secrets that have been held tight, this past year seep out. Everyone is a suspect and everyone is involved. This is my type of Thriller. Multiple suspects, a twisty plot and a surprise ending. The Block Party by Jamie Day is a good read. The drama alone had me hooked. What could be better than adults acting at their worst and pointing fingers at each other? I want to thank Netgalley and the author for my copy for an honest review. It was my pleasure to read and review this book. If you like a good thriller, this book is for you.

annual nieghorhood block party! be there are be square. a mom looses her cool, we all do it from time to time right? well the problem is, the whole block is there to witness it. then the next day her son is dead. naturally everyone believe she had something to do with it? how can she clear her name when so many witnessed her lashing out?

What a hard to put down debut!! The annual cul-de-sac party is THE party of the year, and also happens to be where all of the secrets and misdeeds come to light in Alex's small community. Drinking, debauchery, and even murder?? Definitely vibes of Desperate Housewives, and I'm not mad about it!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my review copy. Definitely recommend!

Block Party is twisty, well-crafted mystery with unique characters dancing around each other. The main story is rendered through two POVs: Alex; fixer, mediator, drinker, responsible neighbor, and Lettie; Alex’s environmentalist, intelligent, observant, misfit daughter. Jamie Day explores themes of alcoholism, revenge, infidelity, suicide, drug abuse, and depression in this novel via fully developed, intriguing characters. The story unfolds through dual timelines and dual points of view which may be a little confusing for some readers. The pacing begins a little slow, but later picks up with all the drama and murder and who done it. Readers of domestic thrillers will enjoy this one.

A summer drama. Murder at the annual Memorial Day block party. There were a lot of characters in this book and it was hard to keep track of.

Loved this! I love a good neighbourhood mystery murder and I read this in one sitting. Thanks so much to the publisher and net gallery for this ARC. Will definitely be looking out for other books by this author.

I loved The Block Party! This was such a great scandal told in multiple POVs. What happened at the Memorial Day Block Party? Buckle up and find out! So much scandal and drama, it felt like a housewives episode!

3.5 stars
I've had the NetGalley ebook on my TBR for a very long time, too long. And then I was able to get the audiobook from Hoopla, and am very glad I did.

This book has me enthralled from the beginning. Even though there were at least 5 households and sundry children to keep track of, and changing timelines and two viewpoints, my feeble brain never once stopped to question, wait now, who's that? The skillful writing kept me in the story and eager to know who would be our murderer and murderee. I think I made up that word as spell check put a wavy red line under it. Well, it should be a word!

Out of all the interesting, complex, flawed characters, I especially liked the main characters, Lettie and her mom Alex. Such wisdom imparted from them both. Alex's husband is pretty special too, especially compared to the other men in the neighborhood!

This was fun - so many secrets and twists that had me guessing the whole way through. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the early arc.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book! This is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed it! I liked the characters and storyline and how everything unfolded and the twists! I will read more books by this author and recommend their books! Thanks again for the ARC!

At the annual block party someone is murdered. The twists and turns will keep your head spinning, The book is written in multiple points of views, which was interesting. I really needed a great read and this was it.

I’ve had some horrible neighbors, but these take the cake. There was nothing really likable in the bunch and that made it hard for me to connect with the book. Well, that and there were a lot of characters to remember and a long time period. There are a ton of secrets and lots of affairs. I did like Lettie and her part of the narration.

It is a solid domestic suspense debut and I’d be interested to see what the author writes next.

Thank you for the advanced read. There was so much going on in this book! I could imagine the characters in real life. I can see this book becoming a movie. So many things happening in this little neighborhood with surprises I didn’t expect.

Thank you for letting me read this book. I really enjoyed this book. There were lots of twists in this book. The turns begin the moment you start the book. It takes place in a tight nit neighborhood where everyone knows each other. It was fun to see how all their lives fit together. I was constantly guessing and did not see the end coming. Great summer read!

The Block Party was one great who done it mystery. With so many different layers throughout the entire story with the characters crossing paths and suspicions with each other, The Block Party was a thriller that was engaging and kept me turning page after page.
I very much look forward to Jamie Day's next fiction work of art, One Big Happy Family!

Fun domestic drama, with a murder involved. Sign me up. This was a fun, entertaining and quick read. Full of secrets, lies and unexpected twists.

The two POV's, the mother and daughter helped show all the secrets that the neighborhood was hiding. I was entertained in the drama and it hit the right spot at the right time!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the e-copy.

A block party, a neighborhood full of secrets and a murder...yes this is a great read! This domestic suspense was very well written and highly engaging. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

What could be better than a block party, a murder, and a neighborhood full of secrets!
The Block Party is a scandalous domestic drama full of juicy gossip and several dysfunctional families. There's a few twists along the way, but you might want to stick around for the flaming ending.
