The Guest List is a classic whodunnit mystery novel. With the eery setting of an isolated Irish island, I had high expectations for the story to give me the creeps. Foley is a master of descriptive writing and I definitely felt like I was on the island myself while reading this story. However, a combination of continuity errors and a predictable plot led to the three-star rating I decided to give this one. It is obvious that Foley, the author, and her editor(s) missed key details when preparing this book for publication. There are multiple occasions where information is conflicting (example - In one chapter Man A and Man B go somewhere, but in the next chapter Man A recalls the event and says he went with Man C. No this isn't an intentional falsehood or a clue foreshadowing the mystery's resolution, it is simply an editing error). Also, the big ending was terribly predictable. I had most of the "big twists" figured out halfway through the book and only really finished reading to see if I was correct. The structure and plot of this story were not great, but the writing style was notable and ultimately saved this one from a lower rating.
