Description:

On vacation in Europe, Frannie makes two urgent phone calls. One to her sister, and one to her brother. The siblings come running, and they find their sister covered in blood, kneeling over an unmoving body.

There’s been an accident: Frannie has hit a man with her car, and she needs their help. They bury the body, and they make a promise. They’ll never tell anyone.

But when the police come calling, the siblings’ lies start to spiral. They begin to doubt their trust in each other. Because what really happened that night?

And who will be the first to crack?

With the incredible twists and turns and a unique look at family relationships that McAllister has become known for, That Night is the ultimate summer thriller that asks: what would you do to protect your family?

Adele’s Review:

That Night is compelling, well-paced, and well-written. The three siblings at the center of the tale are closer knit and more loyal to one another than most, and that detail holds the plot together. Otherwise, readers like me will mentally shout, “Go to the police!” throughout the book. When the plot thickens and alibies go sideways, we learn the lengths siblings will go to protect one another.
