Well read murder mystery

I love a murder mystery and Lucy Foley has written a great modern take on a traditional murder mystery. There are lot of similarities to an Agatha Christie novel - wealthy beautiful people, secluded location, old secrets, over the top motives, a very definite list of suspects. I rather liked that the author didn’t even reveal who had been murdered until late in the piece, so not only were you guessing who the murderer was, you were guessing who had been murdered. The narrators were all great too. All in all, a very solid, enjoyable murder mystery. I’m looking forward to reading more by Lucy Foley.

Enjoyable easy listen

I listened to this on my runs. Easy to listen to, narration was pretty good. Ending was slightly predictable.

What a blast

Absolutely recommend this deliciously nasty book to anybody who loves a mystery. Voice performances are excellent. Great stuff.

Maybe next time

Finding it a real struggle to get into this one. Putting it aside for now.
The narration makes it difficult to 'pick up where you left off'. Maybe my life is too busy to enjoy it at the moment. Keeping it in my library, but definitely need a little more down time to have another crack at it.

Who is being hunted?

A perfect distraction from the surreal world we are living in right now. Being snowed in at a Scottish Hunting Lodge seems pretty good to me after a week spent getting students and staff ready for online learning. I figured out the mystery fairly early on but there were many twists and semi surprises along the way.

A slow grind to a quick conclusion...

Be prepaired to sink many many hours into the charater interplay and development for a conclusion that seemed rushed and left me wondering I had missed something,

We all wear masks....

Totally loved the twists, turns & drama that The Hunting Party had to offer.

The desolation setting, with the murder & not knowing which guest it was that was murdered & by whom was brilliant - the voice actors for this Audio were also a great way to emerge the listener into the “gang” & see how each person related & the connections that bound the different levels of friendship...

The masks that each wore to carry the persona of happy, successful lives, not the struggles & turmoils that each character really was dealing with made the story more relatable.

Throughly enjoyed this book ❤️

A little disjointed

Hard to follow the storyline as it jumped all over the place, took awhile to get into the characters.
