Thirteen for Dinner

Kathleen Lopez

3.58

The exclusive dinner party event of the season…where the guests are dying to leave.

Eccentric and elderly socialite, Elizabeth Headstrom, hosts an annual lavishly themed party at her family's sprawling estate.  Always fascinated with anything supernatural, Ms. Headstrom determined this year's theme would center around a particular superstition.  This year, she was to host a dinner party of just thirteen guests.  She wanted to test the adage that if one broke the circle of thirteen at the table, then misery would befall all in attendance.

Only those who have been most notable in certain circles, and some not exactly for the best of reasons, were chosen to attend this year's event.  All the infamous guests accept her invite, unaware of the theme, as well as unaware of just how far the evening's events would go.

    ⭐️4.5 What a wild ride. This book has all the makings of a Poirot novel, just without the detective skills. The superstitious old lady seemed highly suspicious the entire time, at one point I thought “it’s always the butler” but that ending had me shook. I started to guess the ending a little but not all of it.
