Earlier this year, I read The Paris Apartment which is Lucy Foley's most recent work and the first book of hers I read. I loved The Paris Apartment, but having read The Hunting Party and the preview of The Guest List, Foley's mysteries are pretty much the same format: Multiple POVs set back and forth in time during the present and the time leading up to the present and I suppose it all depends on execution because I think The Paris Apartment was more engaging and had a good blend of the drama and the mystery. At least it showed that Foley improved on her formula.

The dynamics of the friend group along with the dark past of the lodge workers had me making guess after guess as to who was murdered, why, and who did it. None of the characters were particularly likable, but I think that made it even more difficult to pin down who might be the culprit.
If you enjoy thrillers—especially those where no one can leave—you’ll love The Hunting Party.
