The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
4.0
Gripping, a real twisty, creepy whodunnit!
I adore Lucy Foley’s graphic writing style. Unfortunately I did not love this book as much as The Guest List, however I was still hooked and couldn’t put it down! The use of descriptive language is perfect for setting the scene at a remote lodge in Scotland where a group of friends go to celebrate and see in the New Year. A murder takes place and the story explodes from there.
The early twists in the book hooked me in and allowed me to connect with the characters, my suspicions changed almost by the page!
I found this thriller exciting and creepy, it kept me guessing the whole way through, I did feel towards the end that it was becoming a bit far fetched but overall I would highly recommend.
4/5 stars.

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
5.0
Another 5 star powerful read from Jodi Picoult! This is a really heavy story, one of race, hate and loss of life. When a baby dies in a hospital, ward supervisor Ruth finds herself in a tragic and unthinkable situation, by doing her job causes her to nearly lose everything and turns her whole world upside down. Small Great Things is a captivatingly difficult book to get through with such a powerful message of racism and hate. It provides an important message and one that more people should read.
I have seen a lot of mixed reviews regarding this book, however I found it eye opening and thought provoking. Jodi’s effortless writing style sends a strong message and 8 months later, I’m still thinking about this novel.
