The Hen Party

Film Director Kate Miller is in serious trouble. The entire cast and crew of the reality TV show The Hen Party has gone missing while filming in Mallorca. To make matters worse the network boss has just flown in and will be arriving any minute to check up on her production.Kate thinks its all her fault. She hasnt exactly been following the guidelines.But if she is to blame why were the hens arguing among themselves? And why is the groom-to-be calling her in tears?Kate doesnt know the half of it. The hens have their own secrets and its only matter of time before they all come tumbling out. A party of eight arrive on the island but not everyones going home. Q & A with the author Emily Benet-Why did you decide to write a book about a Hen Party?I love novels which follow multiple characters; novels by Liane Moriarty and Deborah Moggach. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty is one of my favourite books and really inspired me. Having written three books Shop Girl Diaries The Temp and #PleaseRetweet in the first person I was determined to write a novel with more than one main protagonist. I wanted to start with a mystery and for the reader to see each characters version of events. I thought a hen party offere the possibility of a fun cast of characters and group dynamic.-Why did you set it in Mallorca?I love Mallorca. Its a place I know well and I couldnt resist the opportunity to write about it. Its perfect for the plot. Its got beautiful beaches and countryside plus not far from the hens villa is the notorious party town Magaluf. I think The Hen Party would make a good beach read so hopefully Ill see people reading The Hen Party on a Mallorcan beach this summer!-What can readers expect?To be entertained! Its a fun fast-paced summery read set in a beautiful place. Its got twists and turns and everyone has a secret. Its not a traditional romance or a comedy but its got both in there!
