I don't really have much to say about this one. It was a decent read, I was entertained while reading it. It wasn't that unique in terms of plot line, a lot of what happens felt cliched, but it was executed well enough that it didn't bother me. I'm not sure I would classify it as a mystery though.

The Home club the ultimate globally franchised elite club for the people at the top of their global game! This book tells the story of the launch night of Island Home where the franchise decided to set up an entire island as a branch of their super-elite members only club. Their brand sees them overseeing branches all over the world with some of the highest quality performers, decor, services and more, but the question that's never really been asked is how do they raise so much money to provide ...

Not rating I could tell from the start that this book wasn’t for me too many characters I couldn’t get straight in my head the storyline didn’t do anything for me a big miss.

Not much I can really say about this one. I liked Lloyd's previous book, People Like Her fairly well. It was a dark voyeuristic look at the underbelly of social media stardom. This book, on the other hand, tries to do the same with celebrities, but really doesn't even come close to making any sort of a point. So there are some people dead on an ultra exclusive island getaway for celebs. We spend the whole book learning what led up to these deaths and why they occurred. In the end I determined th...

Oh Reese . . . . Your book club selections often leave much to be desired : (I really dug People Like Her, but this one was just crap. The premise here is about – you guessed it – a club . . . The grand opening of the newest branch of “Home” – an exclusive getaway for the rich and famous – that ends up with a body count. Sounds okay, right? Like a yummy trashy mindless sort of vacation from your problems? Yeah. Well, it sucked. It lost me immediately when the “island” this new supposedly...

I don’t know how I could possibly be expected to keep track of all of these characters, or whether I really need to pay attention to them. In any event, this book was taking too long to get to the point so I quit. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

3.5 downWelcome to The Club which the wealthy would kill to join. The Clubs are dotted around the world and are the brainchild of Ned Groom. The latest addition the the impressive portfolio is the Island Home (Boucher Island) in Essex where a three day long party will celebrate its grand opening.

If a latter-day Agatha Christie wrote a locked-room mystery set at a fictional Soho House, you would have Ellery Lloyd’s The Club. This was an engaging and literary slow-burn mystery that was intimate and enjoyable, if a little slow at times.I have always been fascinated with the private club and magnet for the celebrity and creative elite, Soho House (even going so far as to try to scheme a way into joining until I learned of the exorbitant membership fee). Having attended Soho House functions ...

While the cover is fantastic and the premise had tons of potential, this was a painful read for me due to the overly descriptive writing. I lose interest and have a hard time engaging into a story when the half page is wasted by describing an object or a surrounding.
