Sasha and Leo's tenth anniversary is going to be a killer party. Fans of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building will love this modern take on the closed-circle mystery, with a wisecracking married couple and their fiercely loyal friend group at the center of the action. Ten years ago, Sasha and Leo’s wedding turned bloody when armed mercenaries stormed the remote eco-resort and took the couple and their guests hostage. In the end, love won, and the pair made it down the aisle. Now, ten years later, they gather eight of their closest friends to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary and ring in the new year at an exclusive estate. But within hours of their arrival, a fierce winter storm rolls in, cutting them off from the outside world. Their estate hosts are off the property when the weather hits, which means it's just the anniversary party and one other group—ten old college pals having their annual holiday reunion. Sasha, Leo, and their crew have managed much worse, so they hunker down to make the best of it. Then, a guest in the reunion group is murdered. With no way to get help, a killer on the prowl, and a sinking feeling that the wrong group may have been targeted, Sasha, Leo, and their friends have no choice but to confront the danger head-on and solve the mystery themselves. The Anniversary Party is a sharp, suspenseful, and twisty mystery in which every move counts and every offhand remark might be a clue. It’ll keep you guessing until the very end.
