The Guest List A Novel

… sondern auch eine Sammlung an Charakteren, die einzeln faszinieren durch ihre psychologischen Themen. Man glaubt nach kurzer Zeit diese Menschen vom realen Leben zu kennen und Teil der Gästeliste zu sein.

I was surprised of how well entertained I felt during my lecture of this novel. I liked the author's storytelling and the novel is NOT one of the senseless, bloody thrillers or horror stories.

after being sceptical reading the first pages, I thoroughly enjoyed the read. And could not put it down in the end. the different characters are all very well outlined, the story is told from various point of views and personal stories are cleverly entwined. Have liked Hannah “the plus one” most of all.

Durch die vielen Perspektiven der Hochzeitsgäste erzeugt die Autorin wahnsinnig gute Spannung und verknüpft bis zum Ende alles auf hochintelligente Art und Weise miteinander. Absolut empfehlenswert!

In this murder mystery novel, we join Will, Jules and their wedding party as they celebrate on a private property ona little island off the coast of Ireland. There's two timelines to follow, one before the event, and one during, as well as changing perspectives. Foley's skilled characterization makes it pretty easy to follow along and distinguish between the cast. The story starts off with an uneasy atmosphere as a windy storm rages over the island during the reception and knocks out the lights. Only a high pitched scream is heard in the dark. Then we skip to before the ceremony to when the wedding party is arriving. While they leave civilisation behind on their way over, there's no way to abandon their secrets. And in this isolated spot, tensions are quick to rise during confrontations and the eavesdroppings thereof. Who hides what? And whose secret is worth killing someone over?
