APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If, like us, you were a fan of Lucy Foley’s first whodunnit, The Hunting Party—a keep-you-guessing tale of murder at a New Year’s Eve party—you’re bound to love this. This time, it’s a glitzy wedding on a remote Irish island that provides the scene for an unexplained death. Foley uses multiple characters’ viewpoints to spin a clever mystery, which gets more and more intriguing as the drinks flow, secrets are spilled and the narrators become increasingly unreliable. In a story that examines entitlement and bullying, plenty of the twists arrive via short, sharp chapters—you’ll find yourself staying up all night to reach the end.
