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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A ritzy island getaway is the perfect setting for this star-studded take on the classic whodunit. Beneath the luxurious surface of CEO Ned Groom’s exclusive celebrity resorts, his beleaguered staff are always working furiously to keep things running smoothly. So with just as much careful planning going into the Halloween opening of Ned’s most exclusive retreat yet, no one expects the luxe event to end in murder. Skillfully told through multiple viewpoints, Ellery Lloyd’s posh, celebrity-filled murder mystery is deliciously fun—and captured flawlessly by narrator Tamaryn Payne’s swanky British accent. Between the misbehaving wannabes, has-beens, and insufferable A-listers—plus Ned’s constant tantrums—the pool of likely killers and potential victims just keeps growing. Pay close attention to the gossip going around, and you might pick up on some secret relationships and a few juicy clues. When the stars fall in this deadly romp, they fall hard.

Enjoyed
Enjoyed the book. At times hard to keep up with the names and characters.
BORING
Wayyyyyy to many characters you have no clue what’s going on and there’s a bunch of detail that’s so unnecessary it’s so boring i really don’t like quitting books and i usually try to push through but i just couldn’t
So-so
There was a good twist, but I think the story is average.
