Having read the sequel before reading this, I already knew what an awful bunch of people the main characters were. I liked this better than One Of Us though. Maybe because of what happens at the party - and that it involves Lucy, the one sympathetic character in the story (who doesn’t appear in the sequel). I didn’t hate the writing as much - it’s just ordinary, not especially bad, a bit verbose but readable enough. The story is well structured enough to be engaging. I can’t tell if it’s quite predictable or if it’s because I’ve read the sequel so knew more or less how it would end. Probably won’t bother seeking out any more by this author.
