The Hunting Party

In my opinion...

I’d heard lots of good things about this story and purposefully saved it until the Christmas period, as it seemed the right time to read it, during the build up to New Year.

It was certainly worth the wait!

This is a novel with a varied, and not necessarily likeable, cast of characters, forced into a situation where none of them can escape from each other.

The brooding Scottish Highlands surround them, eerie and threatening, the unsettling landscape mirrors the tensions between the group. What starts off as a fun party for a group of friends to celebrate New Year, unravels as it becomes the setting for a murder.

The narrative switches perspective, and time, everyone becomes a suspect, as nobody is whom they may first appear. I changed my mind frequently as to who committed the murder, and why.

A great novel for a grey Sunday afternoon in front of the fire! I can see this being made into a Christmas Eve chiller....
