THREE FRIENDS. TWO BODIES. AND A PARTY TO DIE FOR...

It's New Year's Eve and the stage is set for a lavish party in one of Edinburgh's best postcodes. It's a moment for old friends to set the past to rights - and move on.

The night sky is alive with fireworks and the champagne is flowing. But the celebration fails to materialise.

Because someone at this party is going to die tonight.

Midnight approaches and the countdown begins - but it seems one of the guests doesn't want a resolution.

They want revenge.

Critic reviews

A blisteringly brilliant read. Harriet Tyce is at the very top of the thriller game.
It Ends at Midnight has it all - mystery, murder, courtroom drama, revenge and sex, in an explosive mix. I devoured this gripping novel in a couple of sittings, and raced to the shocking end.
It Ends At Midnight takes us into the deepest, most toxic recesses of human behaviour. With the author's signature blend of courtroom suspense and relationships in mortal crisis, this is another delicious treat from Tyce.
Intriguing characters, deceptive twists and a punch-to-the-gut finale. Harriet Tyce always delivers.
Another compelling read from the utterly brilliant Harriet Tyce.
Smartly structured and plotted and even darker than Blood Orange.
A cinematic gut-punch of a book that will linger in your memory long after you've finished it.
Harriet Tyce cements her position as Queen of unreliable narrators in It Ends At Midnight. A must-read high stakes-thriller.
Harriet Tyce is so good at writing flawed characters pushed to their absolute limits. This is another top-notch thriller from her: as compelling as it is compulsive.
Harriet has a true skill for peeling back her characters' layers and exposing every dark, twisted thought. Gripping and truly unpredictable.
What a dark, delicious read - with an ending that made me literally gasp.
Fantastic, intricately plotted, skillfully woven and beautifully tricky.
Murky, twisty, and twisted - a roiling cauldron of courtroom dramas and toxic friendships, damaged relationships and vengeful spectres of bloody, long-buried secrets.
A true page-turner!
Intense, clever, important and deeply chilling, It Ends At Midnight proves that Harriet Tyce is a writer at the top of her game.
So compelling it should come with a warning. It Ends At Midnight is the type of book the term "page-turner" was invented for.
Pure drip-fed tension leading to a gob-smackingly good reveal - I devoured this and yet didn't want it to end.
Toxic friendships, deadly secrets and a chilling finale. This thriller is one wild ride.
A clever, twisty psychological thriller
Expertly plotted and executed, it's a deliciously dark and twisty thriller about toxic friendships, secrets and betrayal. It kept me guessing until the last page.
I could not put it down! It Ends At Midnight is a roller coaster of a ride. I loved it!
It's a spectacular display that you won't want to miss. It Ends At Midnight will have you reading into the small hours.
This is a clever mystery, well plotted and absorbing.
Finely constructed. Characterisation and narrative drive conjoin impeccably in Tyce's tense tale.
Full of twists and turns. An unpredictable, unforgettable read.
A perfect whodunit, full of tension
Excellent. High on tension and twists.
It Ends At Midnight is a searing and suspenseful psychological thriller full of tension, toxic friendship and uncomfortable truths.
It Ends At Midnight sees Harriet Tyce on top form once more. A masterpiece of plotting.

I enjoyed this, it was novel and I was Interested in finding out what happens to the characters. Once we knew 'the secret' it was easy to guess the basic outcome. The descriptions of thier early years with the boys were very real sounding, a hard listen and I felt for all those girls allowing such awful happenings in the hope of being cool. I'd definitely read another of hers.

Enjoyable, but I only need to read it once

Gripped from the start! Despite trying my best to crack the book throughout, I was still left shocked at the end! Total unpredictable ending. Absolutely loved it!

Another classic Harriett Tyce

Blood Orange was an absolutely fabulous book and when I find such a book I have to read all by the author. Harriet Tyce is an incredibly gifted author with her characters who I'm sure we can all relate to in different ways. I also love the legal world focus for my own reasons. Oh but this book was sadly disappointing for me. I found the story unbelievable and possibly aimed at a younger reader than myself, just too far fetched in many ways.
The lead character is a talented barrister who aims to become a Judge and this is all great. She has a wonderful new boyfriend from Scotland where she was raised and he is everything she always wanted. I wondered if a barrister in her position would be in a relationship with a young man who is a chef/catering business PLUS hundreds of miles away from her. He also lives in Edinburgh whilst she lives in London. Hmmm... Okay I could go with that but it didn't take me that long to work out that the wonderful Gareth was connected to the darkest part of Sylvie's life - the trauma and suffering she and her best friend Tess had kept hidden and tried to put behind them, when Sylvie's young boyfriend is murdered and another girl is jailed for many years for his murder.
Tess, Sylvie's best friend from teenage years, also raised in Edinburgh and also now living in London (hmm?) develops a brain tumour, and unbelievably with all that stress decides she and Sylvie MUST revisit that past trauma when they were so young and reopen the can of worms which involves the girl who was imprisoned for Sylvie's boyfriend's murder. This girl spent years in prison because of Tess and Sylvie's lies in court ... I think. Sorry it's so complicated here, and the book is kind of complicated but not difficult to understand really if you follow carefully.
SO much going on in this book, a best friend with a brain tumour, a husband who has insisted on a break from Tess the best friend, a bright and smart young barrister who is intent on being a Judge, a court case involving minors, another legal eagle who has personal connections to one of the boys in the case, a gorgeous boyfriend who lives in Glasgow who suggests online sex with Sylvie and wants her to perform in her Barrister's wig for him.... It's just so predictable. Tess has a brain tumour and yet.... wants a huge party in GLASGOW to celebrate renewing of her vows with the husband who has just left her, and she knows he'll agree when he discovers she has a brain tumour. Stop now !
This author is still a favourite, her writing is great but truly this book was not for me despite all the good things about the book it's far fetched in so many ways.
This book won't stop me reading Harriet Tyce's other books, I know she is so much better than this :)

Disappointing
