Jenni L. Walsh, the Author of “Death Was Not on the Guest List” has written an intense, captivating and intriguing novel. The Genres for this well written book are: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Romance and Fiction. The location of the story is set in Chicago’s Gold Coast District in the 1920’s. The author vividly describes the scenery, setting, and the colorful, dramatic characters. There are “four” women who regard themselves as the most attractive and socially accepted and are Ginevra, Edith, Courtney and Bev. There are other attractive and socially competitive women as well. All are at a charity event, where only the elite are invited. “DEATH WAS NOT ON THE GUEST LIST”. This novel gave off vibes of Agatha Christie mysteries, and the “Clue” Game. Unfortunately, the hostess is the first murdered victim. The lights went out, and guesses are that she was poisoned. A detective appears and is questioning all of the guests.
Why would there be murder, and what would be the motive? I appreciate that Jenni L. Walsh gives a brief description of the main characters. It seems that this crowd is extremely social, and like to party and mingle. There are betrayals, lies, secrets, and power struggles. The women all could be suspects, and special items that belong to some of the women seem to be put into a different use than they were meant for. This was an entertaining and intense book that kept me guessing. There are twists and turns, and sudden surprises. I highly recommend this thrilling book for others.
