THE DEBUT THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE REESE BOOK CLUB PICK THE GUEST LIST
All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.
"A ripping, riveting murder mystery -- wily as Agatha Christie, charged with real menace, real depth. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware." - A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they've chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands--the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.
The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group's tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year's Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.
Now, on New Year's Day, one of them is dead . . . and another of them did it.
DON'T BE LEFT OUT. JOIN THE PARTY NOW.

10/10 recommend this book. The plot twists are magnificent and just a little spicy in it to keep your imagination going. Sometimes, I felt as though I was in the cold wilderness with them. Having lived in MN my whole life, I think the way Lucy describes winter is on track.
I truly enjoy Lucy Foley novels as a light thriller read. I enjoyed the variety of characters in this book, and the social dynamics that Foley brings to light and a diverse group of old friends, newer partners, privileged, wallflowers, and some still seeking an identity of their own... I enjoy a good Clue type of read and that is what Lucy Foley does so well.
If you love millennium drama & suspense this books for you. The ending was a shock. I do enjoy reading Lisa Foley
Well-written, good characters developed, few plot twists and lots of drinking, could have used a little better ending for me
No spoilers. For this and her other thrillers, Foley uses a device of telling the story through the perspectives of several of the main characters, and jumps back and forth from events leading up to the crime and then after. You don’t even know exactly what happened apart from the fact someone is dead until very late in the telling; this might be impossible to pull off for most writers but as Foley fills in the backstories and secrets and connections between the characters she expertly keeps the reader hanging and wondering how exactly this is all going to collide on the worst New Year’s Eve ever for this group of college friends united at a desolate lodge with the most complicated - but likable! - innkeepers in the history of the hospitality industry. Foley weaves in some spot-on observations on lifelong friendships and frenemies and the things we sometimes overlook in those we consider closest to us along the way.I loved this book. Very satisfying denouement. I’ll be reading her other stuff and this book is now one of my go-to gifts for my favorite people and lifelong friends.
