From Little Stack
Written by a life-long Agatha Christie fan, this article wouldn’t be complete without The Guest List.
Set on an island off the coast of Ireland during a wedding (a brilliant set up for a mystery), a group of friends and family gather for the wedding of a rising TV star and a magazine publisher. But things soon turn sour: festering feuds erupt as the wine flows, as do long-buried opinions and desires… Then someone turns up dead.
There are plot twists galore in The Guest List, as well as a host of well-drawn characters, as the tale deepens. Who wanted to deny the new couple happiness? And why? Read and find out…
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?
