He only feels some respect and admiration fro Heather. An introvert man who is there escaping from some violent incident which had happened in his past.Ĭonsequently, he does not want more contact than needed with the rest of the people. She is escaping from that tragedy and wants to live in isolation.ĭoug – The gamekeeper. She went to live there after she experienced some trauma in Edinburgh, where she used to live.
Heather –She is the person in charge of the lodge. The group are trapped and all signs are pointing to murder. Yet secretly, the group know they no longer have anything in common except shared history, deep old wounds…and friendship-destroying secrets.Īs a thick blizzard descends and the clock strikes twelve, a broken body is found in the snow.
The Hogmanay celebrations are in full flow, nine old friends swapping stories and revealing in forgotten memories. Nonetheless, I really don’t mind, but I just find this quite curious.įurthermore, I do not completely understand why the author decided that the characters should address the reader directly, as if they were telling their stories to an “audience”. There is nothing in all the characters you can really enjoy. Weak Point : I ended up disliking every single character, except perhaps Heather, the person in charge of the lodge. Thanks to this technique, we are able to see the different facets of each person.
Strong Point : The way the author tells the story in “The Hunting Party” with continuous flashbacks to the past of the characters and to the last three days, makes the story even more interesting.įurthermore, we learn about the story and the characters from the point of view of the characters themselves.
