A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK
“I loved this book. It gave me the same waves of happiness I get from curling up with a classic Christie...The alternating points of view keep you guessing, and guessing wrong.” — Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
""Evok[es] the great Agatha Christie classics…Pay close attention to seemingly throwaway details about the characters’ pasts. They are all clues.” -- New York Times Book Review
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.
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?

I loved the way the story was structured. I was thoroughly surprised a few times and couldn't wait to 'listen' on. Definitely recommend it.

Het boek werd steeds leuker, hoe langer het duurde! Ik vond sommige voorlezers heel lastig te volgen.

All the connections make this story feel a bit artificial.

Great book, a little short for my taste

Spannend boek, maar vooral zo goed omdat elk personage wordt voorgelezen door een andere, echt goede acteur. De stemmen passen goed bij de personages, inclusief regionale accenten. Een verademing na de vele boeken die helaas nog steeds worden voorgelezen door vreselijk monotone stemmen.
