Seven friends book a winter holiday together at an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands. It has been years since their days at Oxford and, although their lives have gone in very different directions, these thirty-somethings are hoping to reminisce about old times and unwind. But secrets old and new keep coming to light, and two days later one of them is dead.

While I own a physical copy of this book, I opted to listen to it on audiobook via Hoopla. [Special shoutout to my local library for offering its patrons a handful of Hoopla books per month!] This has been a great way to prioritize books on my TBR shelves that I would otherwise continue to neglect. And The Hunting Party was such a fun listen! As this is a multiple POV thriller, there were various voice actors who all did a brilliant job. They definitely enhanced the narrative and probably made me more invested than I would have been if I were physically reading it.

There is no question that this was written by the same author of The Guest List, another relationship-heavy (both romantic and platonic) thriller. It has many toxic relationships and unlikeable characters, POVs from before and after the incident, and most of the characters are members of society with many privileges and little empathy to those without said privileges. Replace The Guest List’s wedding on an isolated Irish island with a reunion of old friends in the isolated Scottish Highlands, and you’ve joined The Hunting Party.

If you prefer your thrillers with little to no sexual content, however, you might choose to skip this one. With that said, if you are all about the messy romances and secret infatuations contained in many thrillers, then what are you waiting for?

Highly recommended if you are looking for a fun audiobook in particular!
