Summary
The Party House by Lin Anderson is a deeply atmospheric psychological thriller set in the Scottish Highlands, for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware.
Devastated by a recent pandemic brought in by outsiders, the villagers of Blackrig in the Scottish Highlands are outraged when they find that the nearby estate plans to reopen its luxury ‘party house’ to tourists.
As animosity sparks in the community, a group of locals take action. By the end of the night, the house hot tub has been smashed to pieces and, in the ensuing chaos, the body of a young woman is found in the foundations. Seventeen-year-old Ailsa Cummings went missing five years ago, never to be seen again. Until now.
The excavation of Ailsa’s remains reignites old suspicions towards the men of this small community, including Greg, the estate’s gamekeeper. He is loath to discuss old wounds, but Greg's new lover, Joanne, is frightened by his reaction to the missing girl’s discovery. Joanne begins to doubt how well she knows this new man in her life. Then again, he’s not the only one with secrets in their volatile relationship . . .

Not that great....
Not nearly as good as the Rhona McLeod-series! And the narration was really well below par!

A slow plod
Hard to sympathise with either protagonist, slow bit solid plot, good narration. One dimensional character development. Author seems not to trust reader to draw accurate conclusions without exhaustive explanation. Could have easily edited 1/3 without losing plotline.

Not a winner
I usually enjoy this author’s work but I wouldn’t recommend this book. The narration was pretty poor (the Gaelic pronunciation made my toes curl). If you’re going to try it go for the book rather than the audio version.

A very enjoyable standalone
I had this on pre-order having thoroughly enjoyed all of this author's previous books.
This standalone novel did not disappoint. The fictional setting was very credible. The reference to recent events made it feel very much in the present. The characters were well drawn, and the narrators did a good job of bringing them to life.
I did work out "whodunit" quite early on, but there was sufficient peril and intrigue as to how everything would conclude that meant my interest was held to the end.
I would recommend this book, as I would all of this author's books.

Really awful and bad
I’ve only listened to a bit but that’s more than enough. It’s pandemic depression. It’s random thoughts and random people then some very unnecessary sex. Nothing enjoyable or engaging. Recommended to me but really not for me. Best avoided. Highly indulgent and juvenile.
