The Wedding Party: A Thriller by L.R. Jones - A Disappointing Read
2 Stars
I recently picked up “The Wedding Party” by L.R. Jones, expecting a thrilling psychological suspense story set against the backdrop of a lavish bachelor/ bachelorette party at the iconic Stanley Hotel in Colorado. However, my experience with this book left much to be desired.
From the very beginning, the writing felt amateurish and lacked the depth and sophistication I usually look for in a suspense novel. The plot was predictable, and so repetitive that I found myself losing interest rather quickly. Despite the promising setting of the Stanley Hotel, I felt that it was underutilized, failing to create the immersive atmosphere that could have added to the tension of the story.
As I reached the ending, which I had hoped would redeem the shortcomings of the book, I was met with disappointment once again. The resolution was eye rolling, leaving loose ends untied and questions unanswered. It was a lazy attempt at wrapping up a story that had potential but fell short in its execution.
In conclusion, “The Wedding Party” was a letdown for me, despite my initial excitement for the genre and setting. The lackluster writing, repetitive plot, and unsatisfactory ending made it a struggle to get through. While I try to focus on the positives in my reviews, I cannot overlook the flaws in this book. Unfortunately, I would not recommend it to fellow readers looking for a gripping thriller.
