Read this as a part of a book club - probably would not have finished it otherwise. It was such a disappointment after having read her more recent novel: The Guest List. The characters were unlikable so I had no desire to know who died and who murdered them.
Also, this particular book had too many similarities to Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood which placed characters in arguably the same situation and location. (I even found the same description of location and comparison of the feeling that location gave them in both books).
I really wanted to like this book but I was ultimately disappointed. There are better murder mysteries out there.

So I read The Guest List a while ago and absolutely loved it! I guess I had high hopes when I started The Hunting Party. I really enjoyed it, but it didn’t have that “omg wow” factor for me. It’s set at this beautiful lodge in the middle of nowhere surrounded by snow, and someone gets murdered. I would have liked to read more about the landscape and area, but there was a lot of indoor, party time. Definitely a good thriller, but not my fave from Lucy Foley.

I give this book 3.25 stars. I absolutely loved The Guest List, so was extremely looking forward to The Hunting Party. I guessed/foresaw quite a lot of things correctly, which isn’t a bad thing, as there were enough slow revelations and red herrings that kept me quite interested. Guest List is better, but this was still a good read. The one thing I didn’t understand was Doug’s chapters being told in third person, while all the others were first person. Could have done without that. Why not keep them all the same? *shrug*

Do you know that movie Something Borrowed? Yeah, it's like that but with murder in it.

I liked this! I'm interested in reading the Guest List because I've heard it's similar.
I like the multiple perspectives, even if i didn't like all the characters. I called one part of the mystery (that it's Julien's baby ) but didn't know the end, which was fun!
