I wanted to read that! It’s on the list! And I grabbed a copy. And then one day I was at Target stocking up on supplies for lockdown, and I spotted this book on the shelf, now emblazoned with a little “Target Book Club Pick” emblem (what the criteria is for that, I don’t know) and I thought, oh, yeah.

It fell by the wayside to other things that I was really excited about it or things that jumped out at me and it just sort of slid to the bottom of the list. And to be honest, it just kind of languished there for a little while. I had even started seeing it before December when people who had ARCs were posting about it, and I remember thinking, damn, this book looks pretty interesting! And that cover! The snow! The stark red against the white! So eye-catching! Let’s put this on the list. (Who am I kidding right now, I had already given up using Goodreads at that point.) It was all over. People were posting about it on Instagram on the daily. And let me tell you, I remember exactly when this book came out because I remember seeing it everywhere. The Hunting Party is a murder mystery thriller by Lucy Foley published in December of 2018. I have no preamble that anyone really wants to hear, so let’s just hop right in. Instagram // we’re going to do this, it’s time for another book review.
