A golden couple -- both beautiful and successful -- are hosting their wedding on secluded island. When someone turns up dead on the night of their nuptials, there's no shortage of suspects. One of the main characters is not who they appear. The story is told from the viewpoints of those whose lives have been shattered by someone who hides behind a facade of perfection and charm. And though it the pattern made it possible to predict who the majority of the victims were and the crimes against them, one or two came as a surprise, and I wasn't sure who the actual killer was until the act took place. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie, there are no tears wasted on the victim.... it couldn't have happened to a "better" person. This was a well-written, fast-paced, page turner that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
