Welcome to Litsy!

My March pick was more by default cause I finished only 2 and both were pretty meh. This one was just a better meh I suppose lol. I have higher hopes for April. #readingbracket2024

This was a pretty quick and fun read but surprised that it was a finalist in 2020 for BOTM. Some of the twists were pretty outlandish and it really felt like a mediocre thriller. I feel like some of this could be solved by ordering some of the chapters, but I‘m not an author so 🤷🏼‍♀️

👰🏻 This story takes place on a small Irish island where an extravagant wedding is about to take place. The only problem is that by the end of the night someone winds up murdered.
🤵🏼An excellent mystery that I could not stop reading after the first twist, & there are a lot of twists. My photo is from Wednesday night when I read with Nova past my bedtime to finish. Taken at La Posada in Winslow, Arizona.

I flew through this book. It kept you engaged the entire time. It starts at the end then works it way back but not in a linear way. I loved that it was in many people‘s different voices and perspectives. She created a puzzle to put together from different people accounts of current and past events. And most importantly the author had me guessing right to the very end. Excellent book! I have already recommended it to others.

Personally, I believe this is the best Lucy Foley book, by far.
Full of atmosphere, suspense, and mystery. I love a good "whodunit" and the multiple narrative in this book is perfect for it. Every person has motive. I did guess the two big twists about 60% in.
Overall, very good.

A good little break from decorating for Christmas. I definitely liked this story more than Foleys last trapped somewhere remote book The Hunting Party. Lots of suspects in this one but only one has the balls to murder.

This one took me a bit to get through to be honest. It didn‘t hold my attention as well as other similar books. It wasn‘t bad and didn‘t end up being a DNF but wasn‘t as much of a page turner like I had hoped

I got this book out of a blind date with a book. Good, but it didn‘t live up to the thriller vibes I expected. I wish the murder had been sooner. I had wanted it to happen early and then have a Clue-style mystery. The plot was still good and I liked the twists at the end, but it wasn‘t the murder mystery I had hoped for. 4⭐️

Took a break from posting but didn‘t stop adding to my reading list. Started this one today, perfect October spooky reading vibes

I thought this was going to be a thriller, turns out it's a murder mystery. That's not really my genre, but I liked it! I will definitely be checking out more from this author. Short POV chapters, made it a quick read. I enjoyed the twist at the end.

Another one that's been in my TBR since publication and, boy, did it deliver! I love books with multiple POV's, so be aware if that's not you. Will now be reading all of her books!

⭐⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#Booked2023 - wrongly incarcerated main character (don't worry - that isn't a spoiler. Happens at the very end when you already know whodunit.)

I really enjoyed this one, it was full of suspense without being super scary (I‘m a wimp). I loved the way you got the story through the different characters perspectives. I also did not see that twist coming 10/10

Started this one! I bet it's a great thriller but I'm not sure I'm in the mood of it right now...

Maybe because I recently finished And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and I didn't fully realize this story is based on the classic.

I may put this on the back-burner for a bit and start a new physical read.

Good but really slow to start

Enjoyed this one! Thrillers aren‘t my absolute favorite genre since I feel like they‘re over the top sometimes but this one was good. Well paced, interesting characters and twists I didn‘t see coming.

Hoping for a quick and simple fun read #nextup

Because I‘m part of 2 book clubs now, smaller TBR piles/ goals must‘ve made. April intentions.

February 25, 2023 Actually, I changed my mind. I'm going to read this fiction book at the same time as tiny beautiful things. Therefore, those two books will take me into the month of March.

Wish I read this before Paris Apartment!! Constant game of cat & mouse with the reader on who the victim & culprit are. Multiple POV, creepy atmosphere, characters have depth without over/underwhelming. Fun murder mystery on an island with recognizable characters completely trapped. Really enjoyed this one especially on audio.

Brings me to 2 bingos! Will post my final bingo board in a few.

A bit of white wine and a thriller while on holiday.

Let‘s see how this one goes; I seem to enjoy a lot of current thrillers until I get to the ending. Anyone else? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Immersive. Atmospheric. Perfect crime at the perfect time🖤

I read this b/c of the Agatha Christie comparisons, which is silly because I don‘t think I‘ve ever read an AC book. The victim isn‘t revealed until the end, but I kept thinking I spaced some portion. I often feel like I‘m reading great books, but don‘t know it.

I really enjoyed this thriller! The author did a terrific job keeping the reader guessing and so many secrets!!!

Holy Beep! This book was a ride! It started off slow for me and I had to push through for a bit, but oh my stars am I glad that I did! I love the authors style of writing of you now knowing the killer or victim until the end, it makes the guessing so much more exciting. In fact I think with my reaction to the ending I have convince members of my family they need to read her books. Highly recommend!

💙💙💙💙💙

My first Lucy foley did not disappoint. Devoured this one quickly and loved it. The characters weren‘t exactly likeable but boy did it keep me guessing right till the end. So satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another hugely entertaining and moreish mystery novel from up-and-coming crime author, Lucy Foley.

They aren't top quality literature, but they are readable, fast-paced and full of twists.

Remote, eerie location, some thoroughly HORRIBLE characters and a satisfyingly dramatic ending.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was an easy read for book club. Enjoyed it, but nothing to write home about. Except Will sucks!

This was a fun “closed room” thriller about a wedding on a secluded island that seems perfect but there are many cracks in the veneer. I wasn‘t sure I was going to stick with this one because it is full of unlikeable characters, but it has some great twists and a highly satisfying end. 4⭐️
#NovelNovember - book 4 done!
#bookspinbingo

A sort-of locked room mystery where the characters weren't likable. Some were even assholes (talking to you, men-who-still-behave-like-demented schoolboys). The constant chapter switching got to be a bit annoying as well; some chapters were only 1-2 paragraphs! One had to suspend her disbelief as well, especially the link between the victim and several wedding party guests. Still a fun read, but it didn't leave me feeling satisfied at the end.

It' was good at times like the setting are devilish characters. But the book was too long..... Like... Get to the point!! I think this book would of been so much better if it were shorter. It took me all summer to read because.... I didn't really care what happened... But I kinda wanted to know??

Slow start to this book. I thought there were too many characters. Ending was surprising.

10/10

The perfect read to start off spooky season!!! 🎃

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoyed this audiobook! Loved all the different narrators (and their various accents, even the smarmy posh Brit a-hole one). I also didn‘t guess the ending, which is always nice. Lucy Foley is pretty reliable after this and Paris Apartment - this isn‘t my favorite genre but I‘m a fan!

Another one I started on the beach and finished up at home. There were some pretty good twists and lots of atmosphere, but also a couple of unbelievable coincidences. Somewhere between a Pick and a So-so for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a good thriller. It‘s more about relationship drama, and was a nice break from my usual reads. It‘s a great beach/summer read if you want a distraction.

3/5 i kinda enjoyed it ! The ending had me in shock I didn't expected what happened to happen

3.75/5 - second time reading it
Quite entertaining, you want to know who did it, what happened, etc.
Are the characters likeable? Most of them are not. Are they superficial? Several definitely are.
It's a well constructed book. I liked the gothic atmosphere with the island seeming so alive, being a character in itself.
Great book to unwind and relax

This book had my attention from the start! One of my top favorites so far!

There is so much to say about this book! It‘s captivating in a creepy yet mysterious way. I love the way it can gather everyone‘s lives from their eyes and draw you into the emotions of each character. It‘s an extremely good book with twist and turns that make you almost addicted to the world it creates. Definitely a must read if you have not!
