A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Are you ready for the roller coaster ride that is The Club? . . . A beautifully written, densely plotted murder mystery that takes place at a private club off the coast of England. Read about a luxurious, celeb-only island during a weekend of partying and ultimately murder.” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club March ’22 Pick)

From the author of People Like Her comes a smart and sinister murder mystery set in the secretive world of exclusive celebrity clubs.

Everyone's Dying to Join . . .

The Home Group is a glamorous collection of celebrity members' clubs dotted across the globe, where the rich and famous can party hard and then crash out in its five-star suites, far from the prying eyes of fans and the media.

The most spectacular of all is Island Home—a closely-guarded, ultraluxurious resort, just off the English coast—and its three-day launch party is easily the most coveted A-list invite of the decade.

But behind the scenes, tensions are at breaking point: the ambitious and expensive project has pushed the Home Group's CEO and his long-suffering team to their absolute limits. All of them have something to hide—and that's before the beautiful people with their own ugly secrets even set foot on the island.

As tempers fray and behavior worsens, as things get more sinister by the hour and the body count piles up, some of Island Home’s members will begin to wish they’d never made the guest list.

Because at this club, if your name’s on the list, you’re not getting out.

Entertaining, if not terribly surprising

I really enjoyed listening to this book! I’m not sure if it was meant to be suspenseful story with a big reveal… for a while it seemed like there was a set up for one. But ultimately as a reader/listener we can guess what will become of the characters. This did not impact my enjoyment of the story.

I had to take notes!

I seriously made a list of characters and who they were to keep the first half of the book straight…. A lot of ground was laid in the first half of the book and then it picked up. Great twists and crazy obnoxious characters. I felt like it was a little “White Lotus” like. Bravo!

confusing at first , but good story

confusing at first but good story once you figured out who all the characters were.

Overall good

It was a decent book. A little slow and the story was predictable, but decent.

Loved it

Suspense, glamour, great characters, kept me gripped until the last word! Defo recommend for fans of mystery and gossip girl

Amazing writing!

The descriptions and the line writing and the plot and the storyline, it flows into a great novel! I was sad when it ended.

Great story, keeps you guessing

Love this narrator and the story was very captivating. Lots of twists that were unexpected.

Building up story line

Easy read, loved the turn of events unfolding as you read, keeping you on your toes to read the next chapter and the next and the next. Loved everything about it. Reese was right you literally cannot leave it from your hands. Really recommend it. If I had to save 1 character I would save Adam just because he was a very influenced and naive person, at least this is how it sounded to me. A very well spent credit !!

Interesting story

Interesting story, I wish it were longer! I listen to a lot of books and finished this one in a few days. I liked the characters, story, and the narrator. Not my favorite audiobook by any means but I’m not mad I spent the credit. If you like murder mystery dramas and can’t settle on anything else this is a good choice!

Great book!

Great book. In the beginning on Audible it’s a little hard to follow because of a lot of characters, but then it all gels and it’s a terrific read/listen!
