And wonderful part is till the end of the book we are left in the dark and we have no idea who is death or the identity of perpetrator. I loved its slow building tension, I loved the notorious, immature, childish boys club (I’m talking about groom’s friends who are acting like wedding crashers and stayed in their teenage years), I loved variety of interesting, rich, attention taker characterization. So I don’t like stalling around facts, I just like to dive in!īUT… this book is an exception. This book is a rule breaker for me because I hate two things throughout my readings:ġ) Too many POVS: I got confused easily and I don’t like to go back to remember which character was the post man rang twice or which character had some irrelevant back story, blablas, unnecessary yadayadasĢ) Slow burning story telling: I’m impatient person, I like to go straight and cut to the chase. Hell yeah! My choice as best thriller won big again! 🥳💜🎈 Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why? The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.Īnd then someone turns up dead. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress.

The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.īut perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one.

The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body A wedding celebration turns dark and deadly in this deliciously wicked and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hunting Party.
