Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty has an intriguing plot, well-drawn characters, and unpredictable twists and turns.
The story is set at a luxurious health resort where nine strangers have gathered to embark on a ten-day wellness retreat. Moriarty does an excellent job of capturing the distinct personalities and motivations of each character, and the interplay between them creates a palpable tension that keeps the reader engaged.
While the book is primarily a character-driven story, Moriarty also weaves in elements of mystery and suspense that add to the overall intrigue. Probably because I had already seen the TV mini-series adaptation, but I found the suspense lacking in this one. My favorite moments in the book were actually the lighter ones.
Overall, "Nine Perfect Strangers" is a satisfying read that combines humor, drama, and suspense in just the right amounts. While it may not be Moriarty's strongest work, it is a solid addition to her oeuvre and a book that is sure to entertain and captivate readers.
