BEFORE YOU START
The premise
A magazine publisher and a television star have planned their wedding in a remote location. As their guests settle in, strained friendships and resentments interrupt the celebration. A death turns those tensions into possible clues.
Why the setup appeals
- A celebration under strain
- The polished event gives you something to look past: the history between the people attending it.
- Trouble getting away
- Rough water and unreliable phone service make the island setting part of the unease.
IS IT YOUR NEXT READ?
A good match for your shelf?
A good starting point if you like a gathering where several relationships could explain the crime.
Something to keep in mind
The wedding brings a group of characters into the mystery; this is a different setup from following one person's private investigation.
