The Goldster Magazine Show Book Club with Lucinda - The Last Party

For our final Book Club of 2024, falling appropriately on the last day of the year, we’ll be reading The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh. She is one of Britain’s leading emerging crime writers, whose books have sold more than 2 million copies around the world. We’ll be reading the first in Mackintosh’s latest series, featuring the Welsh detective Ffion Morgan. The Last Party was published in 2022 and went immediately into the bestseller lists. The series is currently being developed for TV.

On New Year’s Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of party guests. On New Year’s Day, DC Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects to his murder. The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbours, friends and family – and Ffion has her own secrets to protect. With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn’t who wanted Rhys dead ... but who finally killed him. In a village with this many secrets, a murder is just the beginning.

This is a fun book to read over the festive season, and then come together to chat about. Goldster Magazine Book Club events are open to all, whether you’ve had the chance to read the book or not. These events are not recorded, everyone is unmuted and everyone gets the chance to meet other Goldster members. Join Lucinda and fellow Goldster members at 1pm on Tuesday 31 December.
