Find all of my reviews at:
Ahhhhhhh, a gathering of old friends. You know the sort . . . .
Oh wait, not exactly the same. This one features 9 long-time friends from Uni who gather together annually in order to celebrate New Year’s. Another difference this time around????
“I’ve found the missing guest . . . . I found a body . . . . I don’t think it was an accident.�
So we have:
a. A manor house
b. A dead body
c. EVERYONE’S a suspect
That may not be your particular cuppa, but for Mitchell and myself?????
Not an original idea by any stretch - The Hunting Party follows the standard formula of not only not knowing whodunit, but also not knowing who is dead and slowly rolling your way to both of those reveals. I don't care if it has been done a billion times, I still dug it. Comparisons to Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood are accurate. This is the type of story that you either love or hate.

I looooooved it. Very much like In a Dark Dark Wood so if you read/listened and enjoyed that one this would probably be a winner too : )
You got me. Really want to read this now. Great review! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great review, Kelly! I want to read this, too. Love the gif’s! 😊
Ohhhh I have this one coming up soon! Now I'm even more excited. I love when there's a body and a limited number of people there, and there's probably an actual word for that but I don't know it.
Sounds good Kelly! I'm adding 🙂
Great review! I was already going to skip and this solidified it!
I love The Breakfast Club Gifts. I am so old I actually saw it in the theater. lol
Alrighty then- #5 on 1 copy. Thank you, wouldn't have heard of it except for your review.
Great review, Kelly! I’m just starting this one :)
I hope you all like it! (Or, in the alternative, that this served as proof it would be something you wouldn't like.) This is probably one of the tiredest tropes in the history of literature, but I can't get enough of it LOL.
Just added this to my TBR.Breakfast Club references will make me misty-eyed every damn time!
Have you read One Of Us Is Lying? That’s really a Breakfast Club YA vibe : )
I haven’t, but I bought it recently when I went on a Half Price Books spree. You just reminded me it’s sitting in a stack in the other room.
