Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

The Guest List by Lucy Foley

March 19, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Imagine this: you and your friends go on a celebratory weekend holiday to a luxurious yet remote retreat. You all go way back: to university, to secondary school, perhaps even before that. Yet inevitably your lives have drifted apart since then. You’ve all grown up, you’ve all changed, which makes it all the more awkward when everyone tries and fails to fit back into the roles you used to occupy. Maybe your dowdy best friend is now more successful than you, and you try not […]

The reviews on this one were mixed, so I really wasn’t sure what to think. And anyway, I got it for free from Book of the Month since it was literally the only Book of the Year nominee I hadn’t read yet, and it’s a short read, so if it was sucky not really much of anything lost. And I definitely didn’t think it was sucky! It was an entertaining read. Most of the characters were despicable and detestable (except Olivia and Hannah, basically), but […]

Using Interpersonal Drama to Dial Up the Heat in this Mystery

The Guest List by Lucy Foley

May 25, 2021 by Lisa Bee 1 Comment

A big, lavish wedding on a remote island off the Irish coast, featuring an intertwining ensemble cast of characters who may or may not be involved in a murder? Well, that actually all sounds exactly like the kind of thing that my sister would love! And you know what, I quite enjoyed this novel as well. It turned up the drama and uncomfortable situations where you just know something could happen at any turn, and it kept me interested the whole way through. The Guest […]
