ABOUT THE HUNTING PARTY
 
EVERYONE’S INVITED.
EVERYONE’S A SUSPECT.
 
In a remote hunting lodge, deep in the Scottish wilderness, old friends gather for New Year.
 
The beautiful one
The golden couple
The volatile one
The new parents
The quiet one
The city boy
The outsider
 
The victim.
 
Not an accident – a murder among friends.

My Review:

A modern day Agatha Christie.   

As the front covers says everyone’s invited, everyone’s a suspect. Halfway through the book you’re so acquainted with the characters they’re practically friends. And yet you still you have no idea who the killer is OR the victim. The level of suspense is precariously high, but it stands strong. There are clues on every page, from the party of friends, the staff, and the surprise Icelandic visitors. Even as the book was coming to a close, all the secrets and lies kept tumbling, keeping the true killer out of sight until the very end. Bravo Ms Foley!

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.
