Book Reviews – The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party
by Lucy Foley

This is a story about a group of friends who get together every year to celebrate New Year’s Eve. This year they meet at a hunting lodge in a remote location in the Scottish Highlands. Someone has been murdered. Each chapter is told from a different person’s point of view. As the story proceeds, secrets of the group are unveiled. It was a little slow at the start, and perhaps the characters had too much to say. However, the second part of the book had me reading faster, so I could find out who was dead and who was the murderer. Overall, I enjoyed this book – it reminded me of an Agatha Christie novel, but set in the present.  I would recommend this as nice fireside read.
