"Hendricks excels at sharp twists and dangerous turns that domestic suspense readers will devour."—Vanessa Lillie
Murder motives abound when the groom dies at a destination wedding in this new novel by the author of Finding Tessa
To anyone on their flight out of New York, they appear to be five best friends excited for a destination wedding in Miami. No one would guess that each of them has a reason to want the groom dead.
Trevor Vaughn, the groom in question, wooed his bride-to-be by first becoming close with her friends—which is to say that he learned all of the five’s darkest, most dangerous secrets and blackmailed them into convincing Fiona to say “I do.” The friends were forced to convince a doubting Fiona to go through with the wedding, no matter what, and now the charade is set to continue all the way to the altar.
Trevor has his own reasons for wanting to marry into Fiona’s family, and he’ll stop at nothing to make his plan a reality. But when he dies of an apparent allergic reaction at the wedding, surrounded by such close enemies, the possibility of murder isn’t far behind. And for the authorities investigating the case, anyone present could be a suspect...
A suspenseful tale of a deadly destination wedding, It Could Be Anyone is a twisty domestic thriller that will appeal to readers of Liane Moriarty, May Cobb, and Lisa Jewell; its unforgettable characters and unpredictable plot will stay with you long after the last page.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After groom Trevor Vaughn hits the dance floor—literally—at his Miami destination nuptials following an apparent allergic reaction, the question quickly becomes less who might want the politically ambitious security consultant dead than who doesn't—as flagged by the title of this fizzy domestic thriller from Hendricks (Finding Tessa). Tellingly, while most members of the wedding party flock to console the distraught bride, Fiona, a kindergarten teacher and U.S. senator's niece, no one seems terribly broken up about the death of outsider Trevor. But they are concerned about the unfolding police probe, as all harbor secrets they'd do almost anything to hide—and with which Trevor blackmailed them into persuading Fiona to marry him. Hendricks maximizes the suspense of her Clue-style premise, smoothly manipulating and misdirecting readers as she gradually bares the soap opera–worthy skeletons in her characters' designer closets. Those who want the voyeuristic fun of crashing an over-the-top wedding—without any of the hangover—will be rewarded.
