In this delectably sinister and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie, the New York Times bestselling author of The Hunting Party invites you to a wedding celebration that takes a dark and deadly turn.
Set on an island off the coast of Ireland, this gathering brings together guests to celebrate the union of two people. The groom, a rising television star, exudes charm and handsomeness, while the bride, an ambitious magazine publisher, radiates intelligence. The wedding exudes a magazine or celebrity-like aura, with a designer dress, a remote and luxurious location, exclusive party favors, and boutique whiskey. Despite spotty cell phone service and rough waves, every detail has been meticulously planned and will be executed with precision.
However, human imperfections lurk beneath the facade of perfection. As the champagne flows and the festivities commence, resentments and petty jealousies intertwine with warm reminiscences and well-wishes. Groomsmen engage in a drinking game from their school days, a bridesmaid intentionally ruins her dress, and the bride’s oldest male friend delivers an uncomfortably caring toast.
Tragedy strikes when a lifeless body is discovered. Who among the guests harbored ill-will towards the happy couple? And, more importantly, what motives lie beneath the surface? Uncover the secrets and unravel the mystery in this gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.
