This book had interesting perspectives through the characters. I liked that the chapters were short and the writing style flowed well through out the book, keep pushing me through the book. The mystery side of things I found a little predictable, but I think the author used that on purpose because while I did predict some things I didn't predict everything that happened in the climax. 

Has Salt Burn vibes

Overall a good read, different from the other two I’ve read by this author. The structure was interesting. The twists and turns often outed themselves just before they happened and it picked up far too much in the last 40 pages compared to the slow burn of the rest of the book

Many twists and turns which kept me in suspense.  The audiobook is narrated by different people for each character which enhances the experience

I loveee Lucy Foley’s writing style of switching between the different characters and perspectives. It is gripping and page turning and I like the short chapters. I thought the twists and turns and depth of the plot were great and the latter half of the book was extremely clever. I gave Guest List 5 stars, which utterly blew me away but I didn’t like this book as much because I found it very slow paced for the first three hundred pages or so, and I found the protagonist quite irritating. I felt there was a lot of repetition in what was happening and not much variety, but then the ending did deliver. Overall, a great author and thrilling read

That ending... Was not expecting that at all. I love multiple POV setting and this delivered in the best way. The breadcrumbs left in each chapter and pov were so well put together.
