The Christmas Party

By: Kathryn Croft

Narrated by: Billie Piper, Avita Jay

Tis the season for secrets and suspicion.

A chilling psychological thriller with a twist that you won't see coming, narrated by Billie Piper and Avita Jay. This Audible Original, by #1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft, is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Sarah A Denzil and K L Slater.

When Sasha receives a call from her old university friend Gabby inviting her to spend Christmas at Gabby’s remote Scottish lake house, Sasha knows she shouldn’t go.

Twelve years ago, on Christmas Eve, when Sasha and her five closest friends were celebrating the festive season, something truly horrific happened that would change the course of their friendship forever. Something that meant Sasha hasn’t spoken to any of them since that night.

But Gabby is insistent that they all get together this Christmas, to finally help her move on from the events of that night, so Sasha agrees to go.

Arriving at the sprawling house overlooking a stunning loch, Sasha quickly realises that Gabby has other reasons for getting the six friends together this Christmas. And now Sasha is forced to relive a past she’s tried hard to forget.

People had always told them their friendship wasn’t healthy. That the six of them spent far too much time together. No good would come of it, they said. How could relationships with others work when the six of them were so tightly interwoven?

When a snowstorm isolates them from the outside world, old flames are rekindled and tensions run high, and it soon becomes obvious: nothing that big can stay secret forever.

Not a heartwarming Christmas Story

It was well performed yet the story didn’t compare with the narration. It was entertaining enough for an Audible Plus free audiobook. The characters and story line were written from a young persons point of view and some of timeline stuff made me question the technology and the details. I must say my age sometimes hinder my ability to enjoy frivolous entertainment,

Great story, terrible performance

I love a British narrator, but this was over acted and over performed & made me eventually give us on the story. It’s a pity as the story was really great.

A Houseparty Muddle

I can't give this more than 3 stars. it was average. confusing at first then more muddled as it went along. Acting average.

End

That’s it End as if the author ran out of time. That’s not tidy that’s just bad ending

Love Billie Piper narrating

I did not like the rushed ending. I did like the surprise twists. This book reminded me of a Christopher Pile book I read in high school.

great story dual timelines

I enjoy dual timelines and this one played out perfectly. sometimes it's hard to follow the story with dual timelines but this one flows wonderfully! the twists and creepy atmosphere it creates was amazing as well! the narrator they used was the perfect choice, her voice helped with the creep 😂. Easy to follow and amazing storyline!

Surprised Me

Really enjoyed this more than I was expecting. Easy listen and good story line. Kind of had an idea of who had done it with some twists along the way.

Good story, Great Narration

I appreciate that the author got right into the story. There wasn’t a long, drawn out intro. I was interested immediately. The Narrators did a great job. Apparently there were 2 narrators, but I never noticed. I would recommend for those who want a quick, but good listen.

Not bad for a quick murder mystery story

The story was not bad, but the narrator was really hard to listen to especially when the story would get dramatic it was hard to get through

The killer

I liked it all. The drama. The detail. The surprises. I really like learning how everyone felt about each other.
