The Guest List by Lucy Foley

3.5

A solid 3.5! I was quite happy to have enjoyed this, having spent a couple years bouncing off modern mystery/thrillers. I'm not super familiar with the genre at this point, so it may be that this did tired things and I just can't tell, or my enjoyment of the full-cast audiobook helped gloss over what would have grated reading visually. It was among the more skilled applications of archetypes AND more than 3 points of view I've read recently, I enjoyed all the character arcs, I had a couple jaw-dropped moments, I didn't predict the outcome. I had fun and will pick up more from Lucy Foley.
