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?

A really nice book, I like the idea of multiple people reading. A bit slow sometimes but in the end it all comes together.

Bättre andra halvan, men inte fantastisk.

3,5 stars. Enjoyed a quick, easy read. It was wrapped up a little too conveniently and the ending was the weakest point, but enjoyed the setting.

Är en inbiten Agatha Christe-läsare. Förstår att författaren är inspirerad av henne men den saknar hennes finess och mystik. Det går att lista ut mördaren och ledtrådarna är kanske lite uppenbara ibland. Slutet är lite bryskt och kan känna att själva handlingen drar ut sig. Med det sagt. Jag gillar den för karaktärerna och berättelserna! Den känns genuin och jag får en känsla för personerna och deras tankar. Det är det som gör att jag ger den en 4a

Bra början, bättre slut. Bra berättelse och bra berättad! Jag kommer definitivt lyssna på fler böcker av denna författaren!

A real suspense. A story is like a puzzle you build from all those different characters’ narratives. A tad confusing in the beginning but it’s a great opportunity to know each character better.

Tyckte sjukt mycket om den! Bra inläst och spännande upplägg. Tyvärr blev jag besviken på det något snöpliga slutet? Men annars: fenomenal!

Boken känns lite som en Agatha Christie kopia. Personligen så tycker jag att karaktärerna är tråkiga och det gör att boken tappar en del.

A modern Agatha Christie of sorts but not as good if you ask me. Yes thrilling and lots of clues for you to solve the mystery but the language is very crude and I struggle to warm to any if the characters.
