The brand new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hunting Party.
Another murder. Another mystery. It starts with a party. On a remote island, guests gather for the wedding of the year – the marriage of Jules Keegan and Will Slater. Old friends. Past grudges. Happy families. Hidden jealousies. Thirteen guests. One body. The wedding cake has barely been cut when one of the guests is found dead. And as a storm unleashes its fury on the island, everyone is trapped. All have a secret. All have a motive. It'll end in murder.
Praise for the author:
"A ripping, riveting murder mystery ? wily as Agatha Christie, charged with real menace, real depth. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware" A. J. FINN
"Unputdownable" JOHN BOYNE
"Very gripping and so good on the awfulness of some long-history friendships" SOPHIE HANNAH
"Proves that the traditional country-house murder formula can still work brilliantly... Foley is superb" THE TIMES
"A great update on the classic country house murder mystery and Lucy Foley brilliantly builds the tension" GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
"My favourite kind of whodunnit, kept me guessing wrongly all the way through, and reminiscent of Agatha Christie at her best – with an extra dose of acid" ALEX MICHAELIDES
"A compelling locked room mystery . . . elegantly drawn . . . clever, twisty and sleek, it has "hit" written all over it" DAILY MAIL
"One of my favourite reads so far this year – beautifully written and full of chills" CARA HUNTER
"Secret upon secret and a healthy dose of deceit. You won't look at your old friends in the same way when you read this book" C.L. TAYLOR
"Chilling. You won't sleep" ADELE PARKS
"Foley builds the tension cleverly and creepily, underlining the point that old friends aren't always the best" OBSERVER
"Chilling and gripping. Don't read this alone at night" ELLE

      A wedding party on an isolated island off the coast of Ireland. All of the participants and hosts are potential victims and suspects. Each of the main characters is effectively voiced by one of the six talented narrators creating a theater-like experience. Chapters begin by identifying the character whose point of view is being presented. Everyone comes to the festivities with their baggage filled with deep, dark secrets. Slowly they unpack their stories as the plot weaves back and forth over the weekend. While the coincidences of the overlapping stories stretch credulity, those willing to go along for the ride will reap an engaging listening experience. E.Q. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

      Set on a remote island off the Irish coast where a massacre once occurred, this entertaining if uneven mystery from Foley (The Hunting Party) opens just after the high-profile wedding of Will Slater, the star of the reality TV show Survive the Night, and Julia Keegan, an online magazine editor. During the reception, the lights go out, prompting a “scream of terror,” which turns out to have come from a server, who reports having seen a lot of blood. Flashbacks from various perspectives, including the bride and her sister, the maid of honor, recount what preceded the server’s grim discovery—a body. Meanwhile, Julia is on edge after having received an anonymous note warning her not to marry Will, because he’s not who he seems. Foley defers disclosing the murder victim’s identity until quite late, but she undercuts the suspense with obvious indications of who it is. The tension of the setup isn’t quite matched by the reveals, though the nicely creepy setting compensates somewhat. Readers seeking thrills will find plenty. Agent: Alexandra Machinist, ICM Partners.
