Rezension

"This thrilling page turner will have you guessing until the very end." - OK! Magazine

"[Foley's] puzzle is solid, she plays fair with the reader, and overall her story is swift and entertaining." - Seattle Times

"This juicy murder mystery is a perfect Agatha Christie-esque summer read." - Afar Magazine

"Easily my favorite book of 2020 so far...Will keep you guessing until the very end." - Better Homes & Gardens

"A swank celebrity wedding on a remote island with spotty cell service? What could go wrong? Lap up the luxe details, then hold your breath for dark twists as a guest turns up dead." - People

"Lap up the luxe details, then hold your breath for dark twists." - People

"The one thing you can expect from Foley's novels? That you'll probably never guess the twist...or should we say twists when it comes to her latest bestseller...you'll never see the ending coming. RSVP at your own risk." - E! Online

"A delightfully suspenseful thriller. ... Set in such an isolated location, with a fairly small cast of characters, The Guest List feels a bit like a modern Agatha Christie novel. It is a fast-paced, intriguing mystery." - Shelf Awareness

"No one may have come to the island intending to murder, but this destination wedding spirals into mayhem when it's slowly revealed that most everyone in attendance is capable of becoming a lusting-for-revenge killer."

- Washington Post

"Wedding season means a thrilling web of mystery in The Guest List." - Parade

"An Agatha Christie-like thriller." - Huffington Post

"Lucy Foley gets better with every book...The characters leap off the page, the twists are darker and more unexpected, and the setting is straight out of a Gothic novel...Yes, there's a murder, but there's so much more than that. (The twists, I admit, are pretty good too.)" - Marie Claire

"Foley delivers another atmospheric, Agatha Christie-style whodunit with The Guest List. The multiple points of view will keep you guessing right until the end." - Buzzfeed

"Lucy Foley has honed her unique brand of reverse-whodunit suspense down to a science-and thank goodness for that. ... The Guest List-set at a ritzy wedding-gone-wrong on a remote Scottish isle-starts with a murder, and then plays a game of keep-away with the victim's identity until the very last pages." - Harper's Bazaar

"There's clues on nearly every page, but no spoilers here. Needless to say, you'll be up late flipping through your Kindle until all is revealed." - Mashable

"With a dizzying array of suspects, this delicious thriller has all the elements for the perfect whodunit." - Columbus Dispatch

"Foley expertly peels back the layers of eight highly suspicious members of the wedding party, and all with murderous secrets. This summer best seller, a Reese's Book Club pick, will keep you transfixed to the end." - AARP Magazine

"I didn't think Lucy Foley could top The Hunting Party, but she did! I loved this book. It gave me the same waves of happiness I get from curling up with a classic Christie. A remote, atmospheric island, a wedding no one is particularly happy to be at, old secrets-and a murder. The alternating points of view keep you guessing, and guessing wrong. I can't wait for her next book." - Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient

"An updated Murder on the Orient Express." - Booklist

"Clever." - Popsugar

"Evoking the great Agatha Christie classics And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, Lucy Foley's clever, taut new novel, The Guest List, takes us to a creepy island off the coast of Ireland...Foley builds her suspense slowly and creepily, deploying an array of narrators bristling with personal secrets...Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters' pasts. They are all clues." - New York Times Book Review

"Lucy Foley has done it again....Cozy up with this whodunnit and watch the hours fly by." - Good Housekeeping

"Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None rolled into one...Fans of Christie, Louise Penny, and Ruth Rendell will absolutely love this book." - Library Journal (starred review)

    Nicht nur ein Thriller …

    … 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.

    Wonderful entertainment

    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.

    Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

    very good crime novel,

    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.

    Spannend mit Wahnsinnsverknüpfungen

    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!

    Thrilling mystery set during a wedding on a secluded Irish island

    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?
