The Hunting Party: A Novel

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.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick mystery. I can’t say I was surprised by who done it but it was fun getting there. The subject was not light but this was what I would call a light and quick read. The characters are interesting and well developed if not always likable. I would recommend this for personal and book club readers.

I feel like I am on a side quest to find a good modern mystery novel but I can’t seem to find one that tops a classic Agatha Christie. This book failed to build any sort of suspense and had way too many red herrings that never got answered or brought up again. The characters had a lot of potential but we’re not developed enough. A little disappointed overall.
