Jules and Will are getting married and holding their extravaganza on a remote island. They’re both successful people who know what they want and how to get it. They are perfect together, in looks and attitude. As the special guests arrive the day before, close school mates of Will, Jules sister Olivia, and Charles, Jules best friend, all is not as it seems. At the rehearsal dinner the school guys become wild and ugly and past differences come pouring out. Hannah, Charle’s wife and Olivia are at a loss to deal with it and find themselves bonding, and the island owners, Aoife and Freddie are trying to keep everyone in control. At the wedding the next day, more secrets and coincidences are revealed, a huge storm comes up, and a murder is committed with everyone a viable suspect.
This is a well crafted novel, brilliant in its telling, but not easy or fun to read, as everyone’s true character is fully revealed..But it’s written beautifully in past tense and present, creating a scary atmosphere, and fully developed characters.

This is a wonderful thriller/mystery, once again, by Lucy Foley. I found this novel to be really interesting and fast paced. The characters are well developed and all in all this is a fantastic quick read. Perfect for a day hold-up getting cozy.

A glorious weeding is being held on an isolated island off the coast of Ireland. The bride and groom are beautiful, have successful careers in the entertainment industry and have spared no expense for their nuptials. Unfortunately, the day is somewhat spoiled when tempers flare and guests act out with pettiness and jealousy. Things culminate in a murder, leaving the rest of the assembled guests looking askance at each other. Which one of them is a killer? The setting and cast of characters put me in mind of And Then There Were None, a story where everyone is a suspect and everyone is also a potential victim
