My review: ????
The Guest List by Lucy Foley is a thriller that starts when things have gone horribly wrong, but only gives you a vague idea that things aren’t right. You then get taken back to the start.
Jules and Will are the perfect couple. She’s turned her blog into an online magazine, and he’s the star of a reality series that sees him pitted against the great outdoors. Their wedding is happening on an island in Ireland, and is of course going to be the event.
We have a number of different points of view on the event. Aoife, the wedding planner, whose Folly is where the event is happening. Hannah, the plus one, whose husband is Jules’ best friend. Olivia, the half sister, who is the bridesmaid. And last, but not least, Johnno, the best mate from school.
If you’ve read The Hunting Party (also ???? by the way) then you know to expect tense situations, secrets coming out, and people not being whom they seem to be, with things coming to a crashing head.
As you can tell, I’ve enjoyed The Guest List, just as I enjoyed The Hunting Party. I would be very interested in reading more of Foley’s work!
The Guest List was published on 20th February 2020, and is available to buy on Amazon. I’ve found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
You can follow Lucy Foley on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
If you’re interested in tense thrillers, then here’s some others I’ve reviewed:

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, and so my thanks to NetGalley, and to HarperCollins (the publishers) for this book.
