There are also sections that are narrated via the third-person, with a focus on Doug, the gamekeeper. The reader is given an in-depth perspective to their thoughts, feeling and emotions. The narrative is told from the first-person perspectives of Heather, Emma, Katie and Miranda, with each chapter switching between the characters. When one of them gets murdered, it soon becomes clear that these friends aren’t as close-knit as they first thought… ‘The Hunting Party’ follows the lives of a group of friends, during their New Year’s getaway to an isolated lodge in the Scottish wilderness. Finn: “A ripping, riveting murder mystery” and Sophie Hannah: “Very gripping and so good on the awfulness of some long-history friendships.” The novel has received lots of positive reviews, from the likes of The Times: “Proves that the traditional country-house murder formula… can still work brilliantly,” Daily Mail: “Clever, twisty and sleek, it has “hit” written all over it” and Woman & Home: “The suspense will keep you reading long after lights out.” Many fellow authors also praised the novel, such as A.J. Foley studied English Literature at Durham and UCL universities and worked for several years as a fiction editor in the publishing industry, before leaving to write full-time. Since then, she has also released ‘The Guest List’ (February 2020). ‘The Hunting Party’ (December 2018) is Lucy Foley’s fourth novel but is her debut crime novel, following on from ‘The Book Of Lost And Found’ (2015), ‘The Invitation’ (2016) and ‘Last Letter From Istanbul’ (March 2018). Not an accident – a murder among friends. In a remote hunting lodge, deep in the Scottish wilderness, old friends gather for New Year.
