Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, and many twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and a bit crazy lol this story was a bit different for me but I definitely enjoyed reading it! I will definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I started this book and the next thing I know I was finished!! This was a great whodunnit summer read! I was captivated from the very beginning! It begins with a crime scene and a body is found. Then it takes you through the scenes up to the murder. A Bachelorette Party that takes place in New Orleans with all the drinks and drama!! Each chapter is written from a different POV, which I absolutely loved. This was such an easy read from start to finish with a great twist at the end that I really didn’t see coming. If you like Lucy Foley then you would love this story!
.

THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS BOOK!!

The Bachelorette Party had me hooked from page one. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down.

The plot twist left my jaw on the ground, this whole book was like a real life game of clue and I loved it.

The Bachelorette Party is a multi-pov suspense thriller that will keep you entertained from start to finish. Not only throughout the whole book you don’t know who the killer is but you also don’t know who was killed! This book blew my mind!

Thank you to NetGalley & One More Chapter for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a fast paced and quick easy read, that I enjoyed! Rosalee and her group of girls (some she loves, some she hates) head down to New Orleans for her Bachelorette weekend. Each event they have during the weekend brings the tensions higher, and tempers flying. By the last night there’s a body found, and one of the girls is dead. But who has been murdered, and why? In Rosalees opinion each girl has a motive and a reason she doesn’t trust them. The murderer is someone I didn’t see coming, and the twist that comes in the epilogue was shocking.

If you’re looking for a quick and eerie read, this is it. I absolutely loved the descriptions of New Orleans, and the dark history behind the estate they were staying

A fun, quick read where everyone has a motive. Each chapter is told from the perspective of one of the six women on the bachelorette trip, exposing secrets along the way. A few twists along the way keep you hooked to figure out what really happened that night in New Orleans, and what will be left of the survivors.

Thank you NetGalley and Carissa Ann Lynch for the ARC of The Bachelorette Party!

Overall I really enjoyed this book and the plot. The book follows a group of family and friends that go to NOLA for a bachelorette party and the murder that happens on the last night. While the book did have some twists and turns I wish it had a few more as I figured out all but one last twist.

4.5 stars - Overall, this was a good book. It was a fast-paced, whodunit type of book. It goes through the POV of 6 women who go to New Orleans for a bachelorette party. We are not told who died but that someone dies in the beginning. I was interested in the book until the very last chapter.

Thanks to Harper 360 and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Six women, one body. Rosalee and her 5 guests embark on a journey to NOLA to spend a weekend celebrating her upcoming wedding. Among them are her best friend, cousin, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and her husbands best (female) friend. With tension running high, everyone can’t wait for the weekend to be over and go home. But someone doesn’t make it home. Who is the killer? What transpired? Detective Smalls will find out one way or another…right?

This book, overall, wasn’t as suspenseful as other mystery novels I have read, however, I would definitely recommend this to a beginner who wants to test the mystery waters or someone (like myself) that needs a break from the twisting psychological turns and gruesome descriptions. And if you like drama that isn’t yours? This is the story for you. I will admit I did not guess the ending. Or the REAL ending, but there wasn’t a real aspect of “kept me guessing” I truly didn’t have one. It could have been anyone. It was different than other novels, neither good nor bad.

The Bachelorette Party was a very thrilling and quick read! I could not put it down after I was introduced to all the players. Loved the different POVs from all the attendees; The bride-to-be, The best friend, The cousin, The mother-in-law, The sister, and The groom’s friend. I did not see the end coming!!! 4/5 ⭐️. Side note: I’m kinda confused because this was published last year?? Oh well! It was a fun read. Thank you, Carissa Ann Lynch, Harper360, One More Chapter and Netgalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book totally freaked me out! It was scary and gripping. I couldn’t put it down! A must read for anyone who enjoys a good thriller!

This story was exactly what I expected and made the perfect beach read on my vacation. It’s a fast-paced, breezy read that doesn’t take itself too seriously. And it takes place in New Orleans, which is the perfect setting for a murder mystery. It’s told from multiple points of view by Rosalee (the bachelorette) and the women that are accompanying her on the trip. Even though there are six different perspectives, it’s not hard to keep the women straight, as the author does a good job differentiating them and their personalities. The feisty best friend, the witchy mother-in-law, the groom’s hot best friend, etc. About half the story is about their adventures over the weekend and the other half is after the murder victim is found. The reader doesn’t discover who the victim is until close to the end, so that’s part of the mystery, too.

It’s a fun book that keeps it interesting all the way to the end. Several red herrings are thrown in as possible secrets in the ladies’ back stories, but they won’t fool a savvy reader. It’s fine though, because it’s more about the telling of the story than the mystery of it. This author never fails to disappoint and that’s why I always jump at the chance to read her books as soon as possible. This one is no exception!

Six women walk into a New Orleans mansion for a bachelorette weekend, and only five walk out.

The Bride To-Be
The Best Friend
The Cousin
The Sister-In- Law
The Mother-In- Law
The Groom To Be's BFF

Which one of these women didn't make it out alive? And who in the group hated her enough to resort to murder?

We spend the first part of the book reliving the events leading up to the murder through each characters eyes. Everyone has secrets. Everyone has a reason to kill.

The Bachelorette Party was a fast paced, engaging thriller, and is perfect for someone looking for a book they can read in one sitting.

A quick, easy to read murder mystery.

This story focuses on six ladies who went to NOLA for a bachelorette party. Told in multiple points of view, you learn about each one of them. They come from different backgrounds and each have their own problems. As they are on the trip, tensions get higher between them and one of them is found dead. With only them being in the house, who did it?

The epilogue had a good twist that I didn’t see coming! Overall, I enjoyed this book. I was hooked and wanted to figure out who did it and why. I did feel like their could have been a little more of the “why” explained but it was still good.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 for my arc copy. This is my voluntary and honest opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an automatic five star for me. I knew from only a few pages in that if the pacing continued and the ending was solid... it would be a five star! Everything about this book worked for me. I loved getting every POV and that almost none of the characters were completely likable. There were small twists and turns throughout, but also clues put in to deceive the reader. The setting also really worked for me as a take on "the country house" trope that is so common in mysteries.

How the victim was ultimately revealed was perfect and suspenseful through process of elimination. The ending was a twist without being in your face and absurd and left me completely satisfied. This closed circle mystery did not disappoint!!

The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch
"Watch your back at all time" this is an absolute thriller and chillers for sure. This book has you turning until the end and honestly left you gasping for air for sure, because you will never guess plot twist to this amazing chiller. 10/10

This book was a quick, easy read ! I enjoyed the premise as well as the complexity of the characters and how their relationships intertwined with each other. The author was excellent at describing the different personalities of all the characters and how for some it caused issues. I also liked how it was not drawn out but also easy to follow.

Thank you for the ARC!
This book was so good! I couldn’t put it down. I loved the different point of view from the different characters. It definitely kept me guessing until the end !

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this ARC to dive into!

Picture it: you, your mother-in-law to be and sister-in-law to be, best friend, cousin, and ...husband's childhood friend for some reason are all headed out of town for your bachelorette party. You're so excited, practically buzzing, right? Except... everybody pretty much hates at least one other person in this bridal party for reasons that have been left unsaid, but will be aired out over a deadly game of truth or dare. Still excited?

Ladies and gentlemen, holy cannoli. I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I read it one read. I didn't have an issue with any of the characters and truly admired how the author made it easy for you to side with each of them as they took over the narration as the chapters went on. My only gripes with the book would be that 1) I often forgot who was narrating the chapter I was reading and had to go back to the start of the chapter, refresh my memory, and then go back to where I was. This could be a Kindle problem, but I am not sure, and 2) the ending of the book was going so so well, until a certain scene right up at the end. It seemed entirely out of character for the two based on how they had been behaving toward one another all along.

All in all, I loved reading this and honestly? I might give it another read... just because, y'know?

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a good easy read!! I will definitely be reading more from this author. This is one of those books that you don’t want to put down..I read it in just 2 days. The whole time you’re trying to figure out who died and who’s the killer.
Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to read this book. #TheBacheloretteParty #NetGalley

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

I LOVED this book. What an easy, enjoyable, and quick read. The characters all sucked, but it worked for them. This was a mystery until the very end with both the killer and the killed unknown for sometime.

The writing style was perfect & even though it was from multiple points of view, it was still so easy to follow. This author also titled each chapter with whose point of view it was and what their role was in the story. THANK YOU. Too many authors just give names and make the reader create a name chart, talk about confusing.

I’d LOVE to read more books by this author. Not too long or drawn out, just perfect.

such a fun read! I really enjoyed the story line and the character development. I was kept engaged and wanting to know more about the characters and their journey. definitely will be recommending.

This is the third Carissa Ann Lynch book I've been lucky enough to read in advance and this might be the BEST so far.

A Bachelorette, her (weird) cousin, her (pushy) best friend, her future (awful) mother in law, her future (terrible) sister in law and her future husband's (gorgeous) best friend all arrive in New Orleans for a fun-filled and celebratory weekend. By the end of the weekend, one person is dead.

Money, status, family history and drama, plus loads of food and drinks all stack on top of each other. The mansion where the women are staying is another character added to the story. With the added party atmosphere from New Orleans, solving the mystery of who died and who did it is down to the minute.

Carissa Ann Lynch is a master at creating fast paced thrillers and this is no different. From page 1, I was intrigued and could NOT put this down - in fact, I knocked this book out in one night.

Wildly fun and exciting, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun murder mystery where everyone is a suspect.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

That twist in the last chapter of the book!!

I devoured The Bachelorette Party in a day, I couldn't put it down. It's like the game Clue with a bit of CSI action going on. It's a fast-paced whodunit thriller with an eerie feel.

It's told in multi povs, set over the course of a couple of days while celebrating the bride-to-be in New Orleans.
I enjoyed how the author introduced each character, how all the women had a motive to kill someone, and yet you still don't know who has been murdered and who is the killer until the very end. Even during the festivities, there are high-tension scenarios that create this foreboding mood. Even the descriptions of the estate they were staying at were creepy with its dark history.

I highly recommend this entertaining thriller, full of secrets and a jaw-dropping twist.
Thank you Netgalley, Harper 360, and Carissa Ann Lynch for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book! I devoured it in a weekend. From the characters to the alternating views, this book had me hooked from the first chapter. This is a classic whodunit with layers of female friendship and the cattiness that comes with it added in like a delicious triple layer cake. This was a wild rollercoaster ride of a book and did not let up until the very end. The drama between all of the women and their relationship to Rosalee made this book very relatable to real life. I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of thrillers or suspense.

6 women-1 body! The bachelorette party begins on a Friday night; all six women are excited for a chance to escape their everyday lives. But then friendly rivalries turn vicious, and a game of truth or dare turns deadly. Each woman has secrets and resentments. No one likes or trusts anyone at the party. The story is told from the six people attending the bachelorette party's perspectives. A game of truth or dare turns deadly, by the end of the weekend, one of them will be dead. The final twist, I never saw coming. This well written story held my attention throughout. #netgalley #thebacheloretteparty

I enjoyed this page turning thriller. I love the format and how it was told from the different points of view of the woman at the bachelorette party. I liked the New Orleans setting and the history of the mansion they are staying in. In fact, I wish that the mansion and setting could have played even more of a roll in the story. I liked the game of truth or dare turned deadly and the surprising twists at the end. It was a fun ride from start to finish.

I loved this book! Great characters and a great story! Quick read- I could not put it down. I enjoyed all the characters and the different POV throughout the book. Great ending also. Seemed a little rushed at the end but was still a great book. Thank you to NetGalley, Harper 360 and Carissa Ann Lynch for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book!! I could not put it down and I thought all of the characters were done really well. I loved the setting, the vibes, all of it was so good. I can't wait to read more by this author!

Carissa Ann Lynch is an incredible author. This story captured my attention from the first few pages and I was hooked. I finished this book in one setting and still have thought about it days later.

A bachelorette party set in the Garden District of New Orleans in a beautiful Greek Revival that may or may not have a sordid past. This book switches perspectives between 6 women.

Rosalee- the bride
Elizabeth- the future mother in law who would rather have her son (Asher) marry Georgia
Bre- the future sister in law, rude and a little snobby with a small problem
Tinsley- the cousin, Rosalee's basically sister growing up
Mara- the best friend, met in college
Georgia- the groom's best friend

Each of thees women have problems of their own, and the author does an incredible job developing their story and personalities. I loved getting to know each woman more, and who they really were and what their demons are.

Who was murdered? Who had motive? I love that each chapter was from a different person. The author painted the setting of the book so well and I loved imagining the mansion they were staying in. The twists and plot of this novel kept me guessing until the end and I was mind blown. I absolutely loved it. It was a quicker read and the story did not drag on.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for pure escapism. I loved the setting in New Orleans which provided a great atmosphere throughout the story. The plot was easy to follow, but still managed to include a nice twist that kept me engaged until the end. The characters were also well-developed and easy to follow along with. Thanks for the advance review copy.

It should have been a great party. Instead someone ended up dead. Whodunit? All the attendees are given a chance to tell their stories.

“But all the filters in the world can’t hide this sort of darkness.”

This book is multiple POV as we go through the weekend and the events that lead up to the mystery. It caught my attention right off back and I did lose some interest after a while but I was happy to find out who it was.

“A monster in a party dress is still a monster.”

The 6 women:
✨The bride-to-be (Rosalee) - recently moved to a farm house with her fiancé. Before her trip she notices a recurring membership charge from a place that her fiancé has been going to.

✨ The best friend (Mara) - the loud, fun takes not sh*t friend. But at the end of the day she’s not a great friend as she portrays.

✨ The cousin (Tinsley) - she paid for majority of the party/ weekend. She’s very weird and is obsessed with the house they stay in.

✨ The mother-in-law (Elizabeth) - she would rather have Georgia has his sons wife instead of Rosalee. She very up tight and judges Rosalee a lot by her clothing style and how she carries herself.

✨ The sister-in-law (Bri) - very rude and clearly judgmental to Rosalee. Her actions easily display she has her problems she needs to work at.

✨ The groom’s friend (Georgia) - of course I didn’t like her right off bat and she has things she’s hiding.

It was a fun, twisted ride and I still enjoyed it in the end.

“I thought I could trust him with my life, but perhaps that wasn’t the case…”

Thank you Harper Collin UK and Netgalley for the EARC! As always, my review is my opinion and thoughts.

I gobbled up this book in one day because I just don’t want to stop reading. I kept wanting to learn more about the characters and what happens next. Everything was so well written and flowed beautifully. Plenty of mystery and intrigue all throughout. This is a new author for me and I have a feeling anything else she’s written won’t be a disappointment! A great find!

Thank you to #NetGalley and #Harper360 for letting me read this book.This is a clever ‘locked room’ mystery with an interesting cast of characters who all have something to hide.

This mystery had good pacing, a gothic setting, and a cast of unlikeable characters. I would recommend this book for people who are fans of books like Ruth Ware's The Lying Game and Lucy Foley's The Hunting Party. I liked that we also got glimpses of the detective's thought process and background as she put the pieces together.

A perfect whodunit, with expert twists and turns, and a fast-paced story!

This was such an enjoyable book to read, and I actually read it in one whole sitting! This book is just super binge-able due to its mysterious story, classic mystery tropes, twisty plot, and perfect pacing. It is one of those books where you feel like you know what's happening but you actually don't fully know. Up until the very end, this book surprised me and it was just so addictive.

Also, all of these characters were very complex, and some of them were loveable while others were a bit more black and white. Clarissa Ann Lycnh was fantastic at making you dislike a character but also making you feel bad for that character, and it really played with your emotions while reading the story.

This book really achieved what I think is the best thing to have in a mystery book, which is an emotional ride. I went through a whole rainbow of emotions from anger to shock to happiness to confusion. It was really just expertly done.

SUCH an enjoyable and fun ride and I would totally suggest this book to any mystery lovers who want a fun but twisty book!

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for a chance to read and review this book!

I enjoyed the growth that the main character, Rosalee, showed throughout the book. I enjoyed seeing the interplay between the personalities in the book. I enjoyed reading this book and couldn't put it down.

I really enjoyed this quick and fun read. Not sure if this falls under “cozy mystery” but that’s what it seemed like to me. The different perspectives were entertaining and interesting to follow. I loved the setting (New Orleans), the premise (a bachelorette party), and the cast of characters (women with complicated relationships who may or may not hate each other).

I have to start by saying I love thrillers written in the style that Carissa chose here. The point of view from each person involved helps open up the story and give us an insight to what each person is thinking and you get to see their secrets revealed in a more intimate manor.
The pacing of the story was fantastic, I had a hard time putting it down as you see each persons secrets and lies come to light,
The cousin, the best friend, the grooms best friend, the sister in law, the mother in law and the bride.
There are a ton of thrillers about Bachelorette parties gone wrong but I could not put this one down when I started reading it.
I won't be posting any spoilers but you'll stay hooked from start to finish as you have to question who each person really is when their secrets come out. You'll start out liking someone only to realize they really weren't who you thought they were.
I haven't read any books by Clarrisa Ann before but she definitely gained a new fan with this book, excellent work!
Thank you Clarissa and Net galley for allowing me to arc read this wonderful book.

The Bachelorette Party is everything you hope your party wouldn’t become. Told by 6 different viewpoints, the story evolves as you can see each person’s perspective leading up to and after the murder of one of the girls. This book was twist and I never expected how it all wrapped up! #TheBacheloretteParty #NetGalley #Harpercollins360

Six women on a bachelorette party weekend getaway in New Orleans........what could go wrong?
"The Bachelorette Party" starts right off with the murder of one of the participants. The weekend had been carefully planned, set at an amazing Louisiana estate with a dark history. Complete with servants, lush rooms, and plenty of pampering and partying on the schedule. The bride, her cousin, her best friend, and the grooms mother, sister & his best friend form a diverse group not totally filled with love.
This tale will keep you guessing and entertained with a twisty story.
I admit I stayed up late to finish.
Yes, I would recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley the author and Harper 360 for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review.

The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch is a riveting murder mystery set during a bachelorette weekend in New Orleans. The story follows Rosalee, the bride-to-be, and a diverse group of attendees as their celebration takes a dark turn when a game of truth or dare leads to murder. What sets this book apart is its unique narrative structure, with alternating chapters from different characters' perspectives, and the clever use of police interrogations to keep the victim's identity hidden. Lynch's storytelling prowess shines as she skillfully develops each character and weaves a suspenseful and engaging tale that will keep readers guessing until the very end. It's a must-read for mystery enthusiasts seeking a thrilling and well-crafted whodunit with a personal touch.

I would first like to thank NetGalley, Harper 360, and Carissa Ann Lynch for providing me with a copy of The Bachelorette Party for my honest review.

The Bachelorette Party is about well, a bachelorette party taking place in New Orleans. The story follows the bridal party through their celebrations of the upcoming wedding, leading up to the death of somebody in the house. Throughout the book, you do not know who died, or who the killer is.

As I was asked to give my honest review, I will say that when I began this book, I did not expect to like it. I’ve always disliked the New Orleans/Mardi Gras theme or aesthetic so when the setting of New Orleans was presented, I lost a bit of interest.

The story drew me in, learning about each member of the Bachelorette party, their secrets, and their lives. The author left off each chapter with a cliff hanger, making you want to continue reading.

I’ve read a lot of books where there’s a murder, and the entire book is describing the lives of the suspects and their motives for the murder until eventually the killer is revealed, and I’m generally disappointed because I am able to guess the killer about halfway through the book. However this book was different, not only did we not know who died, but even when it was revealed, every guess I had for who the killer was, was incorrect.

I am guilty of judging a book by it’s cover, so I was not immediately drawn to this book, but I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to read this book, as I was pleasantly surprised. I love when a book is able to surprise me, and when a mystery is able to stump me. This book is a great read and I would absolutely recommend you read it.

I flew through this one. I think it was a great who done it thriller that had you on the edge of your seat for most of the book. Carissa Ann Lynch does an amazing job of pulling you into the drama that's unfolding. Having a bachelorette party in one of the best party cities in the US, New Orleans, is bound to be fun. For Rosalee, the bride-to-be, it's a night she won't ever forget. With her eclectic entourage, this party of six is in for a big surprise and one of them doesn't get out alive.

I truly loved the suspense in this book. It was narrated in multiple POV (which is my favorite) but each chapter revealed a little bit more and a little bit more. The characters in the book, the bride-to-be, the best friend, the cousin, the mother-in-law, the sister-in-law and the groom's friend had such complicated development, it was fantastic. Each of the characters were likeable and unlikeable in their own ways and I really enjoyed the twists and turns all the way through to the last page. If you like a fast-paced thriller with some good twists, I definitely recommend picking this one up in November!

Thank you NetGalley, Harper 360, One More Chapter and Carissa Ann Lynch for the eARC of The Bachelorette Party in exchange for an honest review.

Publication Date for The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch is 14 November 2023 (the day after my birthday peeps).

The layout of this book was great. I like how the author told it from the point of view of each character and was able to clearly show the personalities of each. The author revealed nothing until the end. There was a perfect amount of detail and storyline.

Wow. Just wow! This locked room mystery was such a great gripping thriller that left me surprised by the ending. 6 star read if I could. If you like thrillers you have to read this page turner.
I just reviewed The Bachelorette Party by Carissa Ann Lynch. #TheBacheloretteParty #NetGalley

Six Women, One Body.

The Bachelorette Party follows the different POVs of the six women attending a Bachelorette party in New Orleans. When their fun weekend turns deadly, Detective Smalls must find out what woman is the killer. Each woman has their secret, but what secret leads to this deadly encounter?

I enjoyed this fast paced mystery. Although this book is under 200 pages, it didn’t feel rushed or completely obvious. The ending left me satisfied but there was a twist at the end I didn’t see coming. This is the first time I have read a book from Carissa Lynch and I am excited to read some of her other work.

The Bachelorette Party comes out on November 14th!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 Publishing for the opportunity to review The Bachelorette Party. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wow! Talk about clue on steroids! This was an exciting novel , a classic take on who done it. It was a thrilling to get each woman’s perspective of the events and their skeletons they kept. The detective was great at sussing out the murderer. I was intrigued until the end. Well done. I appreciate the advanced copy from NetGalley and this review is of my own opinions.

The story grabbed my attention from the very beginning and kept it until the very end. I read this book in one sitting and I never looked back! I enjoyed how the author told the story by changing the point of view to a different party member in each chapter. It really added to the story and let the reader get to really know the characters. The interrogation chapters were awesome too!!! The characters were built up well and I could not put it down!

This was my first book by this author and definitely not my last!!!

Thanks to HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and Netgalley for the advanced copy. All opinions are mine.
