I loved The Guest List and The Hunting Party so was really excited to read Lucy Foley’s newest release however this book didn’t work for me at all. I found all the plot twists ridiculous and the story seemed to drag on particularly in the middle 200 pages.
I’m really puzzled by the inclusion of the Birds as to me they added very little to the story and almost turned this from a thriller to a fantasy novel which wasn’t what I signed up.
In previous Lucy Foley books I haven’t minded the dual timeline, multi POV narrative but the constant back and forth in this one was very off putting to me.
