The Guest List, Foley -B
This is another from the NYT summer reading list. It's a whodunit with a unique twist. In the prologue, someone is done in, but we don't find out who it is until almost the end of the book. The setting is an island off the Atlantic coast of Ireland that a couple has transformed from a deserted locale to a wedding destination. We meet the few dozen folks who are in the wedding party and their significant others, the bride, editor of a popular online magazine, and the groom, star of a survival type reality tv show. As the bride, groom, best man, maid of honor, a great friend of the bride and his wife tell their side of the story, more and more background, some of it flat out awful, raises its ugly head. We learn that one person in our wedding party is a real SOB and that person winds up dead. The ending is a bit too contrived for me.
