Descripción editorial
Something old, something red, something stolen, something dead.
Sunset Hall, a house-share for the old and unusual, is gearing up as energetically as it's aged inhabitants can for Bernadette's big wedding day. However, with the RSVPs comes an anonymous note that threatens to cast a pall over the upcoming festivities. Agnes is in (somewhat begrudging) wedding planning mode and she and the not-so-sprightly gang of pensioners decide to hide the note from the betrothed, not wanting to cause stress. It is up to Agnes to dig into this poison pen letter, determined to help the wedding go off without a hitch . . . aside from the bodies they've already had to hide from the blushing bride.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The melancholy final installment of Swann's Agnes Sharp trilogy (after Agnes Sharp and the Trip of a Lifetime) finds Agnes and her octogenarian housemates in the English village of Duck End planning a wedding. Jack, an ex-contract killer, and Bernadette, a blind former police informant, have decided to hold their nuptials at the ritzy Foxglove Manor in Duck End. The only snag is that Foxglove requires at least 20 people to attend the ceremony. Glamorous vlogger Charlie suggests that her fellow attendees go online to find dates to pad out the guest list, and retired policewoman Agnes reluctantly agrees, while nursing private fears that Bernadette—her best friend—is about to abandon her. When the housemates receive an ominous RSVP letter whose author promises to "be there to make sure your big day goes off with a bang," Agnes secretly opens an inquiry to avoid worrying Bernadette. With the help of a private investigator, she tries to uncover the source of the threat—and discovers a recent murder in the process. As always, Swann offers witty reflections on aging and stocks the narrative with charming, eccentric characters, but the book's surprisingly sad home stretch may catch fans off guard. Still, it's a solid send-off for a strong series.
