具體描述
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?

##It’s poisonous. Vulgarly written. Without F*bombs the author couldn’t carry out functional conversations. The rowdy structure did not help with the tension she tried to force upon our readers. The whole thing just gave me headache reading it. What a waste to use Ireland as her book setting.
評分##fast read. murder mystery.
評分##三星半吧，前麵90%都在織網????
評分##情節太一般瞭，文筆實在是太差瞭。跟讀書俱樂部入的坑。必須看看阿特伍德和石黑一雄洗洗眼睛。
評分##read may 2021. murder mystery on an isolated island and everyone has a motive
評分##本來以為是東方快車謀殺案式的。。。情節有點拖遝，前麵鋪墊太多，能看下去主要是因為想看自己的推測對不對，還有個重要的原因是用詞簡單[捂臉]，絕大多數高中詞匯，有些英式用語看著看著也就明白瞭
評分##文筆差+節奏慢～讀到15%時決定棄瞭
評分##好普通
評分##失望的原因並不是因為能猜到whodunit, 也不僅僅是因為期待值太高而未達到（不少人拿它跟阿加莎的作品相比），主要還是因為將受害者和凶手同時隱藏到故事最後是很冒險的寫法，這是一種比較漫長的build up, 因此當讀者輕易猜到一切的時刻就會自然覺得anticlimactic……除此之外，各個人物登場雖然好像筆墨不少，但其實人物刻畫的並不形象豐滿（除瞭知道每個人都有過去的秘密就沒什麼其他的瞭），整個故事也沒有什麼可以凝練的現實意義（也許是我要求太高，但最近幾年很多好的懸疑作品都有很不錯的take home messages）...反正是失望的。唯一很成功的地方就是有聲版的演員演繹得都很棒。
