The Guest List by Lucy Foley
Dec. 6th, 2020 10:14 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Each has a secret.
Each has a motive.
Off the windswept Irish coast, guests gather for the wedding of the year.
Old friends.
Past grudges.
Happy families.
Hidden jealousies.
Thirteen guests.
One body.
One guest won’t leave this wedding alive …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Lucy Foley’s mystery thriller is a slickly constructed, fast-paced double mystery that effortlessly switches between 5 narrators to draw out the insecurities and privilege of the wealthy while concealing the identity of both victim and killer until the end. Although I did guess both killer and victim very early on and I felt that the ending was a bit too neat, it’s still an engaging and smart read that kept me turning the pages until the end.
