The Club by Ellery Lloyd
4.0

The Club by Ellery Lloyd was such a wonderful mystery that doesn't get lost in the plot of a murder. I really enjoyed how there was a story that circled around one main character and her interactions, memories, choices, and the like. Then, the rest of the plot takes shape as she makes decisions and builds relationships.

The main character runs "Home" which is an elite club located on a remote island. The most VIP people are in attendance and she is expected to cater to their needs. Lloyd successfully writes a plot that weaves the inner workings of the main character with what is happening on the island. Throughout the book, you will read about drama, personal development, humorous interactions, family dysfunction, and a wealthy group of people.

I enjoyed how smoothly this book flowed and took shape. I suggest it to people who like realistic fiction, mysteries or murders, and slow-burn novels. Definitely worth the read!
