Author: Lucy Foley
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Book Type: Hardcover


Having read Foley's The Paris Apartment, I was looking forward to another who-done-it thriller. Story is set on remote, supposedly haunted island where an entitled bride has set up the posh wedding to her tv-star husband. This wedding is to be the event of the year!

While the mystery is there, the characters are not developed in a way that made me want to read more about them. And unless you enjoy being confused by constantly switching time lines, this book will annoy you. I don't understand the switching of day before, night after, back to day of wedding. Even the ending wasn't that much of a surprise, but no spoiler here.
