Book: The Guest List

Author: Lucy Foley

It’s going to the most talked about wedding of the year. Off the coast of Ireland on a remote island the wedding is planned to perfection. But as the wedding swings into full force a body turns up. There are only so many people on the island and no where to go, so who could have done it?

The Guest List by Lucy Foley had quite the backdrop. The Gothic feel of the island and mansion plus the stormy weather give this book a dark setting in which to try and unearth the motive behind the death. I had trouble in the beginning of this book because of all the different view points. This also could be because I didn’t really relate to many of the characters. I also didn’t like that we don’t find out who was murdered until near the very end of the book. I don’t think it would have take away from the story if that had been revealed earlier. The motives shown from each of the different perspectives really has the reader guessing who could it have been. I’ll admit I was not prepared for the murderer reveal. I was surprised who it was! I’d give The Guest List four out five stars!
