My Review:
Supper For Six is a dark, clever story that reads like a true crime story.
The story revolves around a ‘surprise’ dinner part for six people. As the story progresses it quickly becomes apparent that everything is not as it seems with a few incidents setting the guests on edge. The reader is drawn into the scene so I felt like I was actually there, with the tension almost palpable at times. There is a locked room quality to the story that helped increase the tension in the book and make things feel very claustrophobic at times.
None of the characters in this book were not particularly likeable and I must admit to not warming to any of them. I did feel a degree of sympathy with them and the situation they find themselves in though as parts of the book were quite uncomfortable. The author does a great job of letting each character’s true colours show and I enjoyed learning more about them throughout the book. It was very interesting finding out the characters connections to each other and the secrets they were hiding.
I thought the book had a great pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to keep me reading. The unusual format of the podcast took a little while to get used to but I think added to the tension in the book as the secrets are slowly revealed. There were lots of twists to keep me on my toes and while I did guess the ending, I had to keep reading to find out if I was right.
This was the first book I’d read by this author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
Huge thanks to Hodder and Stoughton for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.

Hm… sounds a bit like The Invisible Host or the later novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.
