The Guest List

A bit dark for me, but I still enjoyed reading it. My second book by this author. First was the hunting party. Great mystery:) 👍🏻

I loved it, it got my attention right from the beginningHowever, cr*ppy ending, rushed and felt like the writer just wanted to be done with it. For me the ending is just as important as the beginning.I also found it was just too much to keep throwing a lot of bad incidents as the victims fault, I think the best man (school days) & bridesmaid issues were sufficient, no need to pile up more just to make us hate the character, rest felt like fillers just to keep the drama

Loved the ending, but I felt like the beginning was boring, but in the end I didn’t expect any of it, totally recommend!

There were parts that were really good, but in other parts, it felt quite rushed. I thought the author could have built a lot more suspense. There were parts that didn’t add up too. E.g. how NOBODY recognised the friend of the little boy who had died.

Nonsensical. The plot meanders. There’s too many red herrings and tricks. It all became a bit too dramatic and high stakes. The only character worth rooting for is the island the cast is on rather than the human characters themselves.

It is my first and certainly my last book for this author, its extremely boring that I jump sections to finish and find myself not missing a lot, lots of unnecessary conversations between characters and repetitions, it's a very bad experience and I don't recommend at all

Lucy Foley’s “The Guest List” is a masterclass in building tension, offering a deliciously dark and suspenseful mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. Set on a remote island during a high-profile wedding, the novel weaves together multiple perspectives, each one adding a new layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama.The setting plays a huge role in the overall atmosphere—isolated, eerie, and full of secrets. Foley expertly uses the environment to heighten the tension, creating a claustrophobic feel that mirrors the emotional intensity between the characters. The way the story is told through alternating viewpoints keeps the pace sharp and allows for gradual revelations that add depth to each character.What really stood out was Foley’s ability to craft flawed, multi-dimensional characters. As each chapter revealed more about their motivations and pasts, I found myself constantly shifting my theories on who might be responsible for the shocking events. The twists are well-timed and satisfying, making the story all the more engaging.For anyone who loves a good mystery with plenty of twists and an atmospheric setting that draws you in, “The Guest List” is a fantastic read. It’s the kind of book that keeps you hooked from start to finish, making it perfect for fans of locked-room style thrillers.

Very good book. Love the author

Such a great writer! Her stories are amazing!!! Love all of her books!

Il libro è davvero avvincente, scorrevole e lascia spazio all’immaginazione! Ho letto anche “The Paris apartment” della stessa autrice: breathtaking!!!

Boring in the beginning but become interesting in the middle and very fast finishing at the end.
