A review by kira20
The Guest List by Lucy Foley

dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

This reminded me of Agatha Cristie's "And then there were none". Ive heard writting mystery today can be difficult because everything feels over done. Foley keeps the suspense and mystery in a good balance.
