The Party by Nora Valters
Ruth's life implodes after she accidentally drops a friend's new baby at a holiday party. Her fiancé blames the accident on Ruth's drinking. The baby's mother insists that Ruth's actions left her little boy badly injured and warns their mutual friends that Ruth isn't safe to be near anyone's children. I love domestic thrillers, especially the ones that involve parents and young children. Watching a happily child free career woman try to clear her name and convince everyone that she's not entirely to blame was extremely entertaining. More than once, I wanted to give her a good hard shake and call her an idiot because she was making her own situation worse and worse. The plot wound and twisted and I definitely didn't expect it to end the way it did.

Must have been a tense read. The situation sounded as if it got steadily worse.
