The Guest List
On a remote island, guests gather for the wedding of the year – the marriage of Jules Keegan and Will Slater.
Old friends.
Past grudges.
Happy families.
Hidden jealousies.
Thirteen guests.
One body.
The wedding cake has barely been cut when one of the guests is found dead. And as a storm unleashes its fury on the island, everyone is trapped.
All have a secret. All have a motive.
One guest won’t leave this wedding alive . . .
A society type wedding held on a remote island off Ireland. What could possibly go wrong?
The story is told from several different characters, including the bride, groom, best man and bridesmaid. I lost count of how many others, there were too many. Even though each chapter tells you who it is easy to forget and then you have to check back. Also the time line skipped back and forth and it completely broke the flow of the book.
I liked the idea of the story but found it wanting. Too many coincidences and an unsatisfactory ending.
I requested this book through NetGalley UK and it is by a British Author so I expect British English spelling. Careen is US English and not used in the UK, we use Career. Careen means something else, to run a vessel aground to clean the hull.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
