This book as it all.
Hauntingly beautiful location. ✔️
A seemingly perfect wedding. ✔️
A cast of characters with mysterious pasts. ✔️
A murder. ✔️
I love a solid, spooky read with a twist. This book did such a beautiful job of setting up not only a fantastic location, a remote Island off the Irish coast, but a cast of characters that brought more baggage with them then a two night trip should warrant.
You are dropped right into the middle of the story, something tragic has occurred at a wedding reception, but then you are taken to the day before to be introduced to the characters in the story just as quickly. The timeline jumps forward and backwards expertly as you are left wanting more with each chapter. Which one of these people will meet their untimely end and better yet, who is has done it?
If you love a good mystery, pick this one up quickly. You will not be disappointed!
