Foley, Lucy

Foley’s fans, especially those willing to suspend their disbelief about some of the more unlikely plot twists, will enjoy.

Only a handful of thriller writers can accomplish what Foley does here: weave a complex plot from the perspectives of eight characters plus an omniscient narrator without causing confusion or reader exhaustion when the plot bounces from one person to the next. Fans of Christie, Louise Penny, and Ruth Rendell will absolutely love this book, which doesn’t reveal its secrets until the very last page. [See Prepub Alert, 11/25/19.]

Recommend to listeners who loved Ruth Ware's In a Dark, Dark Wood or other character-driven suspense.

Foley moves from historical fiction (The Invitation; The Book of Lost and Found) to suspense in her new novel. Agatha Christie and Ruth Ware fans will shiver as they imagine themselves in snow-covered woods, silence amplifying their fear of not knowing whom to trust or who might be next to die.
