The Guest List

The Guest List by Lucy Foley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5)

A spooky island with a reputation? I immediately thought of the famous short story, “The Most Dangerous Game”. Meanwhile the guests assemble for the weekend wedding as if in an Agatha Christie novel or a scene from the game turned movie, Clue.

This mystery novel is a quick, fun read. There are several common archetypes; however, I found the story enjoyable and was interested to see where Foley would take the storyline.

There were moments when the “hosts” reminded me of the maid and butler from Downton Abbey. As the owners of the island and resort, the wedding planner and her husband are walking a fine line between owners and paid help while several of the guests are difficult or overbearing.
