Review
"A smart, stylish and savage thriller that goes straight for the jugular." — People (Book of the Week)
"Masterly thriller . . . Lloyd (husband-and-wife writing team Collette Lyons and Paul Vlitos) makes the reader care about even unappealing characters, and the payoff is completely satisfying. Fans of Ruth Ware’s One by One will be riveted." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Club is something very different: a super-glamorous locked-room (locked island, really) murder mystery. . . . Glitzy and twisty, it’s tons of fun." — The Guardian
"A satisfying and multifaceted thriller. As in Lucy Foley’s smash The Guest List, readers see the plot unfold from multiple angles while the characters' dirty secrets are revealed. A perfect suggestion for lovers of locked-room and island mysteries." — Booklist
"Deliciously sinister." — Popsugar
"The Club is a clever murder mystery that provides thrills and gasps galore, as well as a pointed and clear-eyed cautionary tale about the downsides of money and fame." — BookPage
"Utterly riveting . . . Perfect for readers of twisty novels and star-studded casts, The Club is a glitzy, glamorous thriller with a dark and deadly mystery at its heart. If you’re ready for an escape from domestic suspense, plan your next trip to Island Home." — Bookreporter
“A shamelessly juicy read about murder and the dirty secrets of the rich, beautiful, and famous.” — Daily Mail (London)
"Written with ruthless detail, The Club is a startling dissection of celebrity culture, masterfully told." — Eliza Jane Brazier, author of If I Disappear
"Loved it. A razor-sharp satire on the uber-elite that ramps up the revelations to a deeply satisfying reckoning as justice is served on the many splendidly unlikeable characters. . . . A fantastic read." — Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange and The Lies You Told
“Super clever, silky smooth, and brilliantly wicked, The Club is a triumph and a treat—one of the most riveting books I’ve read in a long time.” — Louise Candlish, author of The Other Passenger
“You’ll need to keep your wits about you as you enter The Club. Shady business practices, moral dilemmas and a cast of characters who all have something to hide . . . but which one will kill to keep their secrets? This had me second-guessing all the way through and I didn’t come up for air until I got to the end. A triumph!” — Sandie Jones, author of The Other Woman and The Guilt Trip
“The Club is a wholly addictive thriller, a clever blend of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and murder. A page turner from start to finish.” — Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife and For Your Own Good

4.0 out of 5 stars Great writing
was what kept me hooked to the book and the characters what made it unputdownable for me.The mystery wasn’t that deep and the twists weren’t too surprising but that the gallery of characters and their flawed humanity counterbalance it and provide enough entertainment.Lovely written, it’ll shock you and awe you in the same chapter.Although I didn’t find anything too original in the debate about fame and life in the public eye, it added nicely to the plot.All in all a great summer read - do recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable!
This is a fun romp through a carefully crafted story about the people most us idolize: pop stars, A-listers, and TV stars, and the Club only they can belong to.Few books surprise me, but the Club did, and it was a gratifying end. Do yourself a favor and read this exciting thriller – it won’t let you down.
3.0 out of 5 stars A Club I Don’t Want To Belong To
I kept trying to read this book. I would start it, read a couple of paragraphs and get bored. I finally powered through enough to engage but it did continually lose my interest. At first it seemed like there were too many characters to keep track of. I actually made a cheat sheet so I could go to it and remember what part they played in the narrative. In the end I found the premise too ridiculous. The celebrities too obnoxious and the ending too annoying. It seems this author REALLY hates celebrities. It was a quick read but nothing remarkable about it. I will give it 3 stars because the mystery was decent but the rest was just way too over the top for me.
4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Home!
This book had so many characters and such a complicated story line, I kept going back to figure it out!
5.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun
This book won't change the world, but it is a deliciously fun read that keeps you guessing until the end.
3.0 out of 5 stars hard to follow
It was okay- hard to follow. Maybe it was the many story lines or that I just didn’t vibe with it. This book is ‘ok’ but I don’t think I’d recommend it for anyone needing a quick read. I for sure had to revisit previous chapter sections to keep up. The author though- very good at telling a story and very good at creating characters.
2.0 out of 5 stars Not a thriller
This book was disappointing to me. None of the characters were likable and it was hard to keep track of each one, even with their names listed at the beginning. Mystery but nothing too surprising at the end.
4.0 out of 5 stars Read the book
Full review on good reads. Think the British version of the show Dallas. 4 ⭐book, but you decide.
White lotus wannabe
Ever since the tv show White Lotus came out, it feels like there has been a surge of stories about elite, super luxurious resorts, where a body is discovered and the story centres around uncovering the mystery with many quirky and unsavoury characters. The Club is a decent read but fell too squarely in this genre for me.
A very good character description
A murder mystery set in a luxirious setting.Soho house meeting Agatha Christie.
Ricos comportiendo muy mal!
Si es aficionado de la cultura pop y estrellas de la música y cine, posiblemente es para ti. Estrellas comportiendo como criminales y otros tratando a ellos malísimamente. El concepto del club es interesante, pero no es ningún carácter bueno en ese libro! No era para mi!
good read
I don’t usually read books about murders but I did enjoy reading this one. I liked the way it weaved from person to person to different time lines….my interest was held till the very last page.
WHO is who and what do they do?
Das fragt man sich bei jedem Kapitel aufs Neue. Viele Protagonisten erschweren es dem Leser am Ball zu bleiben.Ich werde den im Grunde spannenden Roman daher noch einmal lesen.
