It was a beauty pageant . . . now it's a crime scene.

Twenty-five years ago, Isabelle Whitmore vanished without a trace during the Lone Star Princess Pageant in Anhalt, Texas. This year, the pageant is offering more than just its annual dose of rhinestone heels and plunging necklines - Isabelle's sister, Ingrid Whitmore, is back and looking for revenge.

But just as confrontations and old rivalries reach their boiling point, the temperature plummets: record-breaking snow and freezing rain bring down the state's entire power grid.

With everyone trapped under one roof, secrets will be spilled, scores will be settled - and more than one beautiful liar will end up dead.

PRAISE FOR KELSEY COX'S DAZZLING THRILLERS
PARTY OF LIARS with its stunning prose and simmering tension is a mesmerizing story that's part gothic horror, part psychological thriller, part contemporary glitz - the narrative is masterfully woven with plenty of twists, and deftly handles heavier subjects like postpartum depression (Ashley Tate)
I couldn't put it down! PARTY OF LIARS brings the gothic house mystery to Texas, featuring a killer cast, heart-pumping pace, and well-plotted twists and turns (Nina Simon)
Dizzying and dazzling, Cox's debut slices through the saccharin sweetness of poisonous secrets to reveal the spongy heart of blood-soaked truths... A party to die for (Lindy Ryan)
A glamorous party in a lavish mansion and a brilliant cast of characters, none of whom can be trusted. Loved this book - can't wait to see what Kelsey writes next (Catherine Cooper)
Big Little Lies meets Rebecca - the thriller of the summer (Katie Gutierrez)
A delicious story of lies, ambition and manipulation which crackles with tension from the very first page, and splits the gilded world of pageants wide open. Kelsey Cox weaves an unputdownable thriller laden with breathless turns and a whiplash twist that had me on the very edge of my seat. I loved it! (GEORGIA McVEIGH)
