The Guest by Lucy Foley

Reviewer: June Statmore

The Guest List is a delectable blend of Agatha Christie inspiration and modern-day
psychological suspense. This is a “locked room mystery” built for the readers of
2020: a story concerned with secrets—among spouses, partners, and siblings—and
their deadly collision. Set on a remote island off the coast of Ireland, The Guest List
gives readers an exclusive invitation to one of the most buzzed-about parties of the
year: the wedding of a powerhouse digital magazine editor and a TV golden boy. The
wedding has been planned to perfection; the only wild card here is the wedding’s
guest list. Will this reunion of old friends, classmates, and family go as smoothly as
our bride and groom hope? Or will old secrets and resentmentsrear their ugly heads?
When a storm traps the wedding party on the island, tensions ratchet up until someone winds up dead.
With as much of an eye for high fashion and high-stakes secrets as it has for traditional crime novel
structure and inspiration, The Guest List is a perfect reminder of why the classics never go out of style
