## Description

Previously published at The Octopus We believed he had died from an overdose. There was no reason to suspect otherwise . . . When Elspeth is invited to her ex-husband Richard's fiftieth birthday party, she's expecting a star-studded event for the famous British film director, full of A-listers and hangers-on. But she arrives to find just seven other carefully selected guests in attendance. A surreal evening ensues, orchestrated by the charming yet manipulative host, culminating in what will surely become a night to remember . . . Because by morning, Richard will be dead, and every guest a suspect. Praise for The Ninth Guest: 'Very intriguing' Heat, Book of the Week 'Tess Little is a modern Agatha Christie, setting up her nine suspects, locking them in a sprawling Los Angeles mansion, and knocking them down one by one' Tanen Jones, author of The Better Liar 'A unique locked-room mystery . . . Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley' Wendy Walker, bestselling author of Don't Look for Me
