3.5*
Probably the most satisfying final third of any of the Lucy Foley books I've read and tied with The Guest List for a favourite of hers but as always I just struggle with the writing style, something about it never fully clicks for me.
I do like that she has a set style, and it works when you're looking for a fast-paced and easy to read thriller - a multi-timeline narrative, large cast of characters with short snappy chapters and different points of view of the storyline, and one location around which all the action revolves.
Slow to get going, but after about halfway it really picked up pace. Convoluted as it is, I love when everyone has a connection, and in books like this, the most unlikeable characters always get their comeuppance.
A fun thriller, love an exclusive setting with hoity toity types as it makes for plenty of potential victims. One of 2024s big holiday thriller releases.
