This is my favorite Lucy Foley so far (out of this, The Guest List, and The Hunting Party).  Fast-paced and thrilling, I devoured this book as it kept me wanting to get to the bottom of everything.  A great read!

5.0

My second Lucy Foley book.
And oh my, this one's more suspenseful and twisted over The Guest List! I think I can sense a pattern on her mystery/thriller books which I really appreciate. It's not a hard read but will get you thinking and guessing and keep the adrenaline rush. I even finished the half of this book in a day.

This really didn't do it for me. The reveal hit me like a nudge - I'm not sure why. The main narrator was doing like a brooding style voice, and maybe that came across as low-energy? The story was interesting, but I didn't really find it compelling. Maybe I would have if I had read it on paper? Glad that this wasn't my first book by Ms. Foley because I wouldn't be tremendously excited.
