2.28.2022 - The Club

The Club by Ellery Lloyd

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for gifting me a digital ARC of the new novel by Ellery Lloyd - 4.5 stars!

Home is a chain of ultra-exclusive clubs set in the best locations (including Upstate NY - love that!).  The launch party at the newest Home on a very remote island off the English coast is the event of the year.  Ned is the CEO, whom the staff alternately awe and fear; his brother, Adam, mostly does his brother's bidding.  The staff is handpicked and all sign an NDA.  Then there are the hand-picked guests.  Everyone has a secret - and now someone - or maybe more? - is dead.

This is reminiscent of an Agatha Christie, locked room murder mystery - which I'm a huge fan of that concept.  This is a bit of a slow burn, but I loved how everything unfurls to reveal all the secrets and lies - it was all excessive, over the top fun!
