I read this for the March pick for The Literally Dead Book Club, but truthfully I would have picked this up on my own because of how much I loved "The Guest List". I love how many POVs there are in this novel because you, as the reader, get to see so many sides of the story play out. Even with so many POVs, I think Lucy Foley does an incredible job of fleshing out all of the characters and giving us enough breadcrumbs that we are invested in all of the characters. There is the "main mystery" of what happened to Ben, but all of the characters have secrets and motive to make Ben disappear. 
This story gave me "Lock Every Door" vibes, which I LOVED because that is one of my all-time favorite thrillers. Some of the mysteries I did see coming, but some I was shocked by, which definitely kept me invested.
