The Guest List

The Guest list is a fast-paced and entertaining novel. However, in one word, it's forgettable. 
Even though it reads quickly, it isn't particularly mysterious or tense. It seemed to me that the story had no ups and downs, but remained instead in this flat line until the very end, where it went slightly up. The murderer's identity revelation was unsurprising since I had already considered that person. I will say there were a few plots that I didn't see coming, but I wouldn't describe them as shocking, they just were. I should also add that I did not like one of those plots - it's hard to explain it without spoiling it, so I will just say: it seemed unlikely and something the author forced to happen.
Despite all that,l I would encourage anyone interested to read the book because, really, it isn't a bad one, I just found it unimpressive.
