The bride ‧ The plus one ‧ The best man ‧ The wedding planner ‧ The bridesmaid ‧ The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

That might've taken while to finish, but it was still a great a read! I loved how the chapters were split with you getting perspectives from the different characters, although I have to say none of the male characters in this book were very likeable! Despite that though, it was a very good book and I would definitely recommend to others. With that in mind, I'm definitely adding The Hunting Party by Lucy to my TBR list!
This was pretty good. The story all wrapped up a bit conveniently, but that's so many mysteries. I saw where some of it was going, but not the actual whodunnit part.
