Complex mystery, everyone has secrets, everyone is lying to someone, the past and present are colliding but not everyone knows. A quick read for the weekend or vacation - not always logical, but it is fiction!

With twists and turns and secrets, The Dinner Party technically serves as a mystery/psychological thriller. However, I found myself incapable of liking any of the characters, especially the vapid main character Lily. For instance, though Lily wants to be seen as a financial equal to her husband Stig and hates that he never opens up about his past, she refuses to take a job that isn't her passion in order to help bridge the financial gap they have put themselves in, and allows her own secrets to build and build while constantly decrying his. Stig himself is wishy-washy and wholy unlikable, and the third main character, Hector, gives off major creep vibes while Lily dismisses every single one in a roundabout inner monologue. I stuck with the story to see where it went, but there weren't any big surprises in the end,

Wow... a fantastic read!.. a true page-turner... I could not put it down. I was fully engrossed right until the very end... You will not be disappointed!

A gripping psychological thriller... keeps the reader glued to the pages... unputdownable... difficult to forget...
