Another novel by Lucy Foley that has party guests involved in it and of course the scene of action like The Guest List is the party. The guests are the suspects and everyone is interested in saving himself and has no care of the rest. One of the guests is the criminal but the problem is that none of them looks like a criminal; all the guests belong to the decent class of people. The guests are old friends and they each year gather for the New Year.
They have been doing it for the last ten years when they graduated from Oxford. Throughout the year these thirty friends plan for this time of the year when they can sit together and spend a happy time together.
In order to get rid of the outside world they this time selected an isolated place so that no one could disturb their leisurely moments. The night was pure fun but at the dawn of the New Year one of the friends was found dead and the problem is that no one entered the building because the door was sealed. One of the remaining twenty nine is the killer but which one did this and why they don’t even possess a clue.
For the last decade none of them had any fight with each other and having grudge for each other was not an option for the whole team. Real tense scenes like The Book of Lost and Found and again Gary Furlong along with Morag Sims, Moira Quirk, Elle Newlands and Imogen Church narrate the novel because each guest needed a separate voice.
