Book Club: The Guest List by Lucy Foley (REPLAY)

Join editors Abigail K. Perry and Savannah Gilbo for a deep dive into the pages of The Guest List by Lucy Foley!

The goal of this book club is simple → We want to demystify what makes popular stories work by dissecting them from a craft perspective. 

In this 2-hour long (pre-recorded) workshop, we'll cover:
  • The key differences between mysteries and thrillers (and where The Guest List fits within these two genres)
  • How the author used red herrings to mislead readers and pull off an awesome twist at the end
  • Tips for using setting and point of view to heighten tension and suspense (with examples from The Guest List)
  • A look at the plot structure from each point of view character (there are six!)
  • How the author balanced an omniscient narrator with first person point of view
  • And so much more…

The Guest List by Lucy Foley has sold over 3 million copies to date. It was a NYT bestseller and won the CWA Gold Dagger award in 2020. Get instant access to this book club replay to find out why!
