The Guest List by Lucy Foley

 


This was an interesting read about secrets and motives set on a remote Irish island and told from various perspectives of the guests on the guest list (hence the title).  It definitely holds your interest and the author does a good job in handling all that jumping around in and out of those various perspectives.  She also does a good job in gradually revealing who is murdered and how all these various perspectives lead to the final reveal of who and why.  It was a Reese's Book Club pick and received the Gold Dagger Award from the Crime Writer's Association of the UK for best crime novel of the year.  In these days of social isolation, perhaps people are reading it and thinking to themselves "could be worse, I could be stuck in the middle of nowhere with these folks!"  A nice distracting read that will keep you guessing until the end.
