Critic reviews

‘Both a classic whodunnit and a very contemporary psychological thriller that left me guessing right to the end – a wonderful read’ Kate Mosse

‘Great fun. Lucy Foley is really very clever’ Anthony Horowitz

‘A very modern Agatha Christie for the new roaring 20s . . . secrets and lies at every turn’ Sarah Pinborough

‘Evoking the great Agatha Christie classics “And Then There Were None” and “Murder on the Orient Express,” . . . Foley builds her suspense slowly and creepily’ New York Times

‘Terrific’ Stylist

‘Whip smart page-turner with skilful characterisation . . . a compelling read’ Jane Shemilt

‘Foley’s second take on the “closed room” murder mystery confirms her status as this generation’s Agatha Christie’ Sunday Express

‘Sharp and atmospheric and addictive – I tore through it!’ Louise Candlish

‘Thoroughly addictive’ Sarah Hughes, I paper

‘I didn’t think Lucy Foley could top The Hunting Party, but she did! I loved this book. It gave me the same waves of happiness l get from curling up with a classic Christie’ Alex Michaelides

‘Nail-biting . . . A fabulous closed room thriller. Lucy Foley is the Agatha Christie for our times’ Kate Hamer

‘It grabs you from the off and keeps you guessing until the very end. A genuine treat of a read’ Heat

‘This is a stunningly brilliant book: writing to die for, compelling characters, and a plot driven by a deep-seated sense of unease. I savoured every secret, every twist and turn’ Dinah Jefferies

I loved The Guest List and gobbled it up in a few sittings . . . A cracking story brilliantly told’ Ryan Tubridy

‘Compelling, entertaining and highly enjoyable, Lucy knocks this one out of the park’ Liz Nugent

Entertaining but far-fetched

Overall, the story was quite interesting, but by the end there were too many subplots and coincidences and it all felt implausible.

Not too bad

I wouldn’t call it a murder mystery, since the whole murder was kind of pinned there as if something reminded the writer of it last minute.
Performances are good, though, mostly the female ones. And I liked the characters, too

Love love LOVE

This is one where the audiobook is essential! Loved the different voices, the different secrets and the crazy twists! Wow!

Beautifully narrated

I loved The Guest List. The narration was great and the story kept me hooked right to the end.

Unbelievable

I couldn’t put it down. She’s a brilliant writer! I felt all the terrifying thrills along the way
