“The Search Party is a character driven and very atmospheric closed room type mystery with lots of red herrings to keep you guessing. A glamping weekend as a reunion for a group who have supposedly been friends for over 20 years, turns into a disaster on their first evening, and only gets worse as the weekend progresses. Told from the perspective of many of the characters from before and after 'the incident', this is an intriguing look at what friendships really entail.”
— Nancy • Fiction Addiction
A spellbinding locked-room mystery about a glamping trip gone horribly wrong when a powerful storm leaves the participants stranded and forced to confront long-held secrets and a shocking disappearance.
Max and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race with their twelve-year-old son to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. Eager for a dry run ahead of their opening, they invite three old university friends and their families for a long-needed reunion. But the festivities soon go awry as tensions arise between the children (and subsequently their parents), explosive secrets come to light, and a sudden storm moves in, cutting them off from help as one in the group disappears.
Moving between the police investigation, a hospital room, and the catastrophic weekend, The Search Party is a propulsive and twisty destination thriller about the tenuous bonds of friendship and the lengths parents will go to protect their children—perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.
