This was advertised to me as a detective novel, which it is not. It could be classified as a mystery though.
It's more like a really good soap opera - it's all about the POV characters relationships, feelings, life stories, and how those feed into each other and culminate to a crescendo at this wedding.
It's got a very slow start, but picked up pace about halfway through and then just kept speeding up until the grand finale.
I liked this book, especially once the puzzle pieces started falling into place a bit. Some of them I saw coming, some I didn't, all were expertly laid out.
