Just okay. I thought it was pretty predictable and there were a lot of characters to keep track of. The setting was cool though.
Tense closed room mystery/suspense set in the Scottish Highlands at New Year’s Eve. A group of Oxford alums meet every year for the holiday. This remote spot is decidedly atmospheric and as the chapters were told from various characters’ perspectives, I found my opinions changing about them all. One of the women is killed and we don’t even find out who the victim is right away. This was suspenseful and truly a page turner. Humans are so complicated!
If you’re wanting to read a thriller by Lucy Foley, I would strongly urge you to go for The Guest List.
The Hunting Game wasn’t bad, but it was missing a spark, IMO. I really loved the group dynamic, but I definitely felt like the book would have benefitted from Mark’s, Julian’s, Samira’s, or Bo’s perspective. I didn’t feel that I was too connected to this book and I think part of that is because I didn’t like any of the characters I was reading. I think if I hadn’t just finished The Guest List, I would have really enjoyed the Hunting Party. Imo, the two books are too similar to really enjoy reading them both.

I enjoyed this. I read The Guest List a couple of weeks ago and loved it! This one felt very similar and almost a bit predictable.
Lucy Foley does a good job of writing the suspense. She writes in a format for building up a story between the past and present by revealing each secret a piece at a time. She portrays the story in multiple POV which I like because it adds to piecing together all the parts of the story one by one.
I listened to the audio and it was really well done. The various narrators did a fantastic job. I'd definitely recommend this one.
