"Appealing. Day’s choice to withhold both victim and perpetrator ratchets up the tension nicely, and her jabs at suburban repression are sharp. This is wicked fun."—Publishers Weekly
“Narrator Megan Tusing gives an emotive and affecting performance as Alex and provides distinct voices for the barrage of busybodies on the neighborhood message board. Suzy Jackson is a perfect match for the adolescent, idealistic Lettie. Together, they evoke the compelling cast of flawed families in an unsettling and engaging listening experience.”- Library Journal
“Highly engaging and brilliantly plotted. Absolutely amazing. Readers are going to flip!” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of ONE STEP TOO FAR
This summer, meet your neighbors.
The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other.
On the night of the annual summer block party, there has been a murder.
But, who did it, and why, takes listeners back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold. The real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Critic reviews
"Appealing. Day’s choice to withhold both victim and perpetrator ratchets up the tension nicely, and her jabs at suburban repression are sharp. This is wicked fun." --Publishers Weekly
“There’s more than potato salad and Kenny Chesney on the radio at the Alton Road annual block party. Someone gets murdered and as always, in searching for the killer, a slew of other juicy secrets are uncovered. Told from multiple points of view, this novel is like a firecracker on a hot summer night. If you like my novels, you’ll love THE BLOCK PARTY.” — Elin Hilderbrand, #1 Bestselling author of THE HOTEL NANTUCKET
"What could be more idyllic and all-American than the gathering of neighbors, friends, and family at a holiday block party? But as this group of wealthy, gorgeous people come together to eat and drink, celebrating life and each other, beneath the beautiful serene surface is a labyrinth of betrayals, secrets, and lies. Character rich, utterly propulsive, and wise, THE BLOCK PARTY delivers an unflinching look into the painful twist of family dysfunction, infidelity, parenthood, and marriage. Jamie Day has a bone-deep knowledge of what makes us tick, what binds us together, and what tears us apart. This is a thriller with a soul, and Day is a writer to watch.” -- Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of LAST GIRL GHOSTED
