具体描述
The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

评分##失望的原因并不是因为能猜到whodunit, 也不仅仅是因为期待值太高而未达到（不少人拿它跟阿加莎的作品相比），主要还是因为将受害者和凶手同时隐藏到故事最后是很冒险的写法，这是一种比较漫长的build up, 因此当读者轻易猜到一切的时刻就会自然觉得anticlimactic……除此之外，各个人物登场虽然好像笔墨不少，但其实人物刻画的并不形象丰满（除了知道每个人都有过去的秘密就没什么其他的了），整个故事也没有什么可以凝练的现实意义（也许是我要求太高，但最近几年很多好的悬疑作品都有很不错的take home messages）...反正是失望的。唯一很成功的地方就是有声版的演员演绎得都很棒。
评分##年度最啰嗦剧本杀剧本… 我读这本书的整体感受：前10% - 我为啥要买这本书？50%- 怎么都是流水账？ 70% - 大段的跳读ing... 就这真的是2020悬疑最佳？ 90% - 哟！这个反转，虽然我都猜到了，有点爽到；100% - 真的是为姐则刚啊……
评分##fast read. murder mystery.
评分##三星半吧，前面90%都在织网😂
评分##本来以为是东方快车谋杀案式的。。。情节有点拖沓，前面铺垫太多，能看下去主要是因为想看自己的推测对不对，还有个重要的原因是用词简单[捂脸]，绝大多数高中词汇，有些英式用语看着看着也就明白了
评分##又一本猜到结尾的小说 没什么惊喜 也许拍成迷你剧会更有意思一点 #meh
评分##文笔差+节奏慢～读到15%时决定弃了
