It Ends at Midnight - Paperback

by Harriet Tyce (Author)

"Gripping." --Alex Michaelides, New York Times bestselling author

"Blisteringly brilliant." --Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author

Three friends. Two bodies. One party that changes everything.

When ambitious barrister Sylvie Munro attends a glittering New Year's Eve party in Edinburgh, she's expecting drama, but not death. Hosted by her childhood friend Tess, who has been confronting a terminal diagnosis, the celebration serves as Tess's backdrop for confessing a secret they've buried for decades.

But as the clock ticks toward midnight, two guests fall to their deaths in a grisly scene that shatters the night. Sylvie is forced to reckon with the truth: someone at the party knows what she and Tess did--and wants revenge.

Told through shifting timelines and unreliable memories, as the narrative unfolds, readers are pulled into a web of suspicion, ambition, and moral ambiguity where no one is quite who they seem.

From the international bestselling author Harriet Tyce, It Ends at Midnight delivers a chilling, twist-heavy mystery praised for its tension, emotional depth, and unflinching exploration of loyalty gone wrong. It is a taut psychological thriller about buried guilt, toxic friendship, and the lies we tell to justify our worst mistakes.
