The Invitation by Rachel Abbott
5.0
I couldn't put the book down, well my kindle but still. I read the entire thing in one sitting in multiple areas.
The clues that wer're dropped to figure out the initial crime were clever. Little pieces where I was thinking "AHA! I know who it is." The amount of layers and craziness that Rachel was able to put into this is what made it so enjoyable to read. Some of the smaller mysteries that were entangled with the dinner I would have never guessed. Then to throw a murder mystery dinner party to figure out the actual murderer a year later, for me at least it was very original. I appreciated all the characters and how they interacted even in insanity.
Poor Jemma though to not know these people at all and have to be thrown into every thing. It affecting her marriage and the amount of lies I would like to know though if she stays with Matt because there's a lot of love there but he left her majorly in the dark. I enjoyed how strong of a character she was, there was any "woe is me" from her.
Matt was a sly dog. That's about it he was the wimp but did show how much he cared about Jemma... at the end of the book.
Isabella pegged her from the moment that I learned what she did for a living and then in the pub so long ago.
Lucas/Rachel was a mastermind of a character you really got a feel for who he was perceived to be. The knowledge and thought he put into the envelopes and the digging that he did into his friends lives so that he could reveal the truth for his sister and too everyone else. Too prove to himself that he was going insane, I did wish we got to know his fiancee/Wife a bit better.
Dear Rachel Abbott,
I would like to request a series of short stores pretty please.
1. What happens to Gus and Stephanie.
2. Does Jemma decide to stay with Matt??
3. A little love story on Lucas and Nina.
4. What seedy things did Isabella squeeze her way out of.
5. A happy ending for Andrew and Chandra???
