MOMO’S REVIEW
I enjoyed every minute of this psychological thriller. It is a modern version of the old classic who-done-it crime novel but with a brilliant modern twist.
The author describes the setting, a remote hunting lodge in the Scottish Highlands, beautifully and with such detail you feel like you are there watching from behind a tree. I have travelled and visited many areas in the Highlands and the author talks of the bleak, forbidding wintry landscape in a way that I could picture in my mind many of the places I have visited previously which made this much more real of a tale for me personally.
The group, mostly longstanding close friends who attended Oxford University together, have gathered annually to celebrate the New Year. The book begins on New Year’s Day 2019 when gamekeeper and lodge manager discover a missing guest on the estate. The story then goes back and forth over the days since the groups arrival at the lodge slowly revealing dark secrets each of the ‘close friends’ are hiding.
Lucy Foley has created this thrilling atmospheric crime mystery. The chilling air of menace, the setting, the blizzard conditions and the secrets being kept by each guest – none of which would win awards for the most likeable characters ever known!
This was a fantastic murder mystery which I highly recommend. Since reading on the Pigeonhole app I have now purchased a paperback copy so I can read it all over again – in a single sitting!
