Book Description:
The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. 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 cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?
Thoughts:
I loved this book! It was (as I typically like to say), one giant puzzle that came together beautifully in the end. It was full of deceit, betrayal, heartache, (Insta)love, secrets, back-stabbing, death, suspense and thrill.
Everyone in this book has motive to kill, and you don’t know who until near the very end. The whole time reading I kept thinking various characters would die, and who was the one to do it. While I wasn’t totally shocked at who was killed, who did it I didn’t see coming until near the very end, which I loved! It had multiple twists and turns; was told in both present tense and past tense, which you know I absolutely love. There were many twists to each storyline, and this made for a very fast read.
If you like a good suspense/thriller, this should definitely be on your list!
