Eight friends – four couples, get together one evening for
some food, some wine, and some conversation. This is not the first time they
have gathered for a dinner party. They have known each other for years, and are
comfortable with each other’s company. This evening however, something new will
be added. A game. A game they will all play. It is a game based on trust. What
better game to play with friends, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, for those
involved, this game is also full of secrets and betrayal. While this was not
the first time they got together, it most certainly will be the last.
Their game of trust was supposed to alleviate guilt, and
bring peace and forgiveness. Instead, it brought fear and division. Secrets
that were never meant to be shared hang over them all like shrouds. The game
didn’t bring them closer; it brought them death. One by one, they begin to die.
Game over? Not a chance. R. J. Parker has effectively delivered to his readers
the dinner party from Hell. You are introduced to the characters, and feel like
you are getting to know them. Before long however, you realize that you didn’t
know any of them at all. The surprises never stop coming, and neither do the
nightmares. The Dinner Party is loaded with twists and turns, lies and deception,
and will take you to the edge over and over again. Make sure you have plenty of
time when you begin reading, because it’s impossible to put this thriller down.
