    Your description of the Lucy Foley book makes me think of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.
    My hold for ML Wang’s Blood Over Bright Haven just came in so I’ll be reading that this month, and Sword of Kaigen is getting pushed to December. I hear great things about it, though! I’m also planning to read The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah and The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch this month. Happy reading! 📚💜
