Book Overview

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"My favorite kind of whodunit, kept me guessing all the way through, and reminiscent of Agatha Christie at her best -- with an extra dose of acid." -- Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Silent Patient

From the author of the Reese Witherspoon book club pick The Guest List

Everyone's invited...everyone's a suspect...

During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they've chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands--the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.

The trip begins innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group's tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year's Eve, the cord holding them together snaps, just as a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world.

Two days later, on New Year's Day, one of them is dead. . . and another of them did it.

Keep your friends close, the old adage says. But how close is too close?

DON'T BE LEFT OUT. JOIN THE PARTY NOW.

Fast paced, engaging

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I do agree with the reviewer that got a bit confused keeping track of who's who. Also, the "big twist" was somewhat contrived. A minor point: I didn't understand why a barroom brawl was treated so dramatically in the news and social media (you'd think he'd murdered small children AND puppies); maybe this is a cultural difference ... such an incident in the states would receive no attention at all. Despite all this, I highly recommend "Hunting Party." Especially if you liked Foley's "Guest List."

Confusing But Worth It

This was a very good murder mystery tale with a little but of betrayal and suspense. However, I struggled at the beginning. There are 5 different POVs and a group of 11 main characters and it was hard for me to keep straight who was who. The back cover of the book has a descriptive list of some of the characters. I took a lot of time making charts attempting to figure out who matched what but I eventually gave up on that. I did enjoy the ending though. Out of the 5 POVs, we have the killer, the victim, and 3 others. I had an inkling of who was going to die from the start but I was truly surprised at who the murder turned out to be. Truly an enjoyable read that made me think and I will be looking for more Lucy Foley books in the future.

Gripping!

I love how Lucy can take a simple group of friends getting together and twisting it into such a crazy on the edge of your seat kind of tale. Lucy is such an amazing writer.

The Hunting Party Does Not Disappoint

I read Lucy Foley's "The Guest List" and loved it, so I thought I would give this story a try. I liked the story and it was a good read. I have to say that the characters weren't as interesting as "The Guest List".

Predictable but easy and enjoyable read!

Predictable but enjoyable over all. Hunting party was a quick and easy read and I didn't much have to concentrate on it. I guessed what was going on about half way through. It reminded me so much of One By One by Ruth Ware. I enjoyed both books immensely! Lucy really does know how to write mystery thriller novels that suck you in from the get go
