About this deal

Cocoran, Lucy (21 September 2021). "The Are The Best Bingeable Books You Can't Put Down". Marie Claire . Retrieved 27 December 2021. Now the city is at its loveliest. The crowds of summer and autumn have gone, the air has a new freshness, the light has that pale-gold quality unique to this time of year. There have been several weeks of this weather now, without a drop of rain.

Yet not all that glitters is gold, for many secret histories lurk beneath the surface of these Bright Young Things. Stella is bound to a powerful and profoundly dangerous man, and as Hal’s obsession grows with every passing wave, they sail closer towards a tragic fate. Critical Praise

The guests on the yacht are the beautiful but precocious leading lady, the drunken male lead, the director, photographer and the loud American who is the sponsor for the film and his beautiful, but familiar wife...... Stella! Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! In her second novel, Foley weaves a very satisfying love story, and readers will be especially taken by the luxurious Mediterranean setting.” — Publishers Weekly Kate’s mission to find the woman in the portrait her grandma gave her takes her to unimaginable places, from a peaceful home in London, straight to Paris and then New York City. She finally arranges a meeting with a secluded but prominent artist, Thomas on the Corsica Island but she has no idea what her future would be. She’s scared and sure that she had made a terrible decision. But the strong determination she had inherited from her ballerina mother keeps her moving forward. And soon, Kate learns about the dark past and comes to discover a profoundly romantic story spanning for decades. Talk about the characters, both good and bad. Describe their personalities and motivations. Are they fully developed and emotionally complex? Or are they flat, one-dimensional heroes and villains?

Evoking the great Agatha Christie classics. Lucy Foley’s clever, taut new novel,… takes us to a creepy island off the coast of Ireland…. Foley builds her suspense slowly and creepily, deploying an array of narrators bristling with personal secrets…. Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters’ pasts. They are all clues.

Publication Order of Standalone Novels

I thoroughly enjoyed "traveling" through Italy while reading The Invitation. The protagonist, Hal, is an interesting character, albeit a lazy one. The writing was a little abundant, and the story could've been pared a bit. There are some contrivances, but this is fiction, right? Some of the lesser characters steal the show: the photographer Aubrey, the Countess, even the drunken film star are well-crafted. War, cast against the cost to family, hits true.
