Publisher's summary

A spellbinding locked-room mystery about a glamping trip gone horribly wrong when a powerful storm leaves the participants stranded and forced to confront long-held secrets and a shocking disappearance.

Max and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race with their twelve-year-old son to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. Eager for a dry run ahead of their opening, they invite three old university friends and their families for a long-needed reunion. But the festivities soon go awry as tensions arise between the children (and subsequently their parents), explosive secrets come to light, and a sudden storm moves in, cutting them off from help as one in the group disappears.

Moving between the police investigation, a hospital room, and the catastrophic weekend, The Search Party is a propulsive and twisty destination thriller about the tenuous bonds of friendship and the lengths parents will go to protect their children—perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.

Pretty good

It kept my interest. But the female narrator was REALLY DISTRACTING with her swallowing all the time!

Good overall

This was overall pretty good, and the male narrator was great, but the female narrator made nearly constant swallowing sounds, akin to a giant wad of mashed potatoes in her mouth. It was very upsetting and off-putting.

Easy listen

IMHO, I found it distracting to the story to *hear* the narrator reading. Her breathing was off while reading parts of the story. It would be like watching Jurassic Park and you see the audio boom dip into the shot. The art of storytelling is forgetting who is telling the story and only remembering what the story was about.

ok

The narration was good. The story was very predictable, you could see the "twists" and ending coming a mile away. Not very suspenseful at all.
