This was Barnes & Noble’s mystery/thriller book club pick for August.

After reading this, I am deciding Lucy Foley is not for me.

I loved The Paris Apartment, and really liked The Guest List.

The Hunting Party I thought was TRASH!

This was MEEHHH. I feel like it had a good fall vibe with the legend and such, but it was just soo boring I wasnt excited to pick it up, it was like a chore.

Somehow, I still tead it fast probably just to get it done.

I did like the connections with characters, but otherwise, its gonna be a no from dawg.

What did you think of this one?

Lucy Foley has rapidly gained recognition in the mystery/thriller genre, especially following the success of her books like 'The Guest List' and 'The Paris Apartment.' Her unique storytelling technique combines intricate plots with engaging character development, drawing readers into immersive narratives. 'The Hunting Party,' while not resonating with every reader, exemplifies Foley's skill in creating heightened tension and exploring human relationships under pressure. In contrast, readers often appreciate diverse experiences and viewpoints, so it's worth considering that particular tastes in thrillers can vary widely. If you enjoyed other works by Foley, you might find that her style resonates differently depending on the themes and character arcs presented. It's interesting to see how seasonal settings, like autumn in 'The Hunting Party', can affect the overall mood of a thriller. Engaging in book clubs or discussion forums can also help refine your perspective on novels that initially don't meet expectations. Be sure to explore reviews from various sources to gain a multifaceted understanding of Foley’s work and discover why her books continue to captivate audiences. Let's discuss and share our thoughts on current thriller trends!

Lucy Foley is someone I always pick up their book and it’s not because she always has a great one she’s very hit or miss . I didn’t like the hunting party either . And I did finish this one but didn’t love it and didn’t like any of the character’s.
