This reminded me of Agatha Cristie's "And then there were none". Ive heard writting mystery today can be difficult because everything feels over done. Foley keeps the suspense and mystery in a good balance.

Read For:

Petty Drama

Murder Mystery 

Wedding Setting

Multiple Point of Views

Slow Burn Story Telling

This book wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d read it again.

I thought the author did a good job with setting the scene and having the suspenseful atmosphere I was expecting from a murder mystery.  However, I thought it was a bit drawn out.  All the characters being taken apart, not being as perfect as they once seemed was written well… I just didn’t care for most of the characters.  They weren’t all that likable and the drama was a bit predictable.

The narrators though, did a lovely job.  And with all the different characters they really made each character unique.
