This was not as thrilling as I would like a thriller to be, but solidly entertaining. It gave me serious Big Little Lies vibes, so if that is your cup of tea, this book may be up your alley.

There were too many POVs for me in this, though I did think the author did a good job at making them unique so it was easy to follow. Overall, I wanted a little more action, but thought this was fun.

4.0

Fast paced murder mystery set at a rich person’s wedding. I didn’t guess the killer until the very end, lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Couldn’t put this book down.

4.0

This book I told from various perspectives of the wedding party - this is something I really liked as it added to the suspense of the book overall. The wedding party all have secrets that are slowly revealed as their perspective is told over the wedding weekend. There were some big twists revealed in this book, which I didn't anticipate. The typical Irish weather described in the book also helped to create atmosphere for me.

Very interesting book with an interesting twist. I think Ms. Foley did a great job with this book. It had characters that you did not like but still sympathized with them. A solid book.

I liked the fast pace, they way the characters were woven, and the way the story unraveled. The audiobook had many different voice actors to read each part which added a lot to the story.
