Loved it

I’ve listened to all of Lucy’s novels and they don’t disappoint. Love the little twists and turns. Very well narrated too.

Great Narrator

I really enjoyed this book. It was very easy to read with simple but adequate descriptions. The storyline is something you can leave for a while and still understand when you pick it back up. There are a lot of different POV and time shifts in this book which added to the readers understanding of charecter motivations. I feel these POV's was smoother when listening to the book then when I just read it. I enjoyed the escapism, especially the different accents, of this novel very much.

Didn’t really get into this.

It had all the things I should have liked but it just didn’t draw me in. I got to the end but I can’t even remember what happened.

Fantastic Fabrication by Foley

Foley creates a lovely, scary slice of Paris with multi-mystery tale. Missing only a makeover.

Boring

I really enjoyed Lucy Foley's The Guest List so I made this book my next listen but it is so slow at getting to the point. I'm halfway through and nothing interesting has happened. I'll finish it but somewhat begrudgingly

Its ok, but not as good as The Guest List

It starts with promise then dissolves into the realm of suspended disbelief right up to the end twist that is even more unlikely….

Cool concept and lots of twists

A very clever idea . Lots to look back on once read and marvel at its complexity but also simply very cool.
