This was my first Bookstagram made me do it purchase - as a fan of crime novels I knew I had to get myself a copy. I've seen so many brilliant reviews and whilst this book wasn't quite a 5* read (and honestly I couldn't exactly tell you why!) it was still fantastic.

The Hunting Party keeps you guessing throughout. You don't find out who the victim is until right at the very end of the book, which was both original and captivating: how could I put the book down without knowing who is dead? It worked, because I didn't stop reading until I had finished the entire book.

This decision to withhold information also made me get emotionally involved; I found myself hoping some characters were safe. But certainly not everyone: a lot of the characters in this novel were thoroughly dislikeable. This made the read more interesting as I was hoping my favourite characters would both survive 'till the end and also not be the killer.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one and whilst it wasn't a 5* read for me I do highly recommend it to all crime lovers. I will certainly be checking out Foley's newest book The Guest List.
