The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
Apr. 8th, 2020 11:21 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
In a remote hunting lodge, deep in the Scottish wilderness, old friends gather for New Year.
The beautiful one.
The golden couple.
The volatile one.
The new parents.
The quiet one.
The city boy.
The outsider.
THE VICTIM.
Not an accident A MURDER among friends.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Lucy Foley’s crime novel is a smartly plotted mystery that focuses on who-got-done-in and why as much as whodunit, using 5 different points of view to maintain tension. The relationship between the characters is well drawn (although some side characters are thinly drawn) and I enjoyed the slow reveal of secrets while empathising with some of the insecurities some of which come from the characters’ unprivileged backgrounds and imposter syndrome.
