"A wedding day is a neat little parcel of time in which I can create something whole and perfect to be cherished for a lifetime, a pearl from a broken necklace."
An easy read that is well paced. The format takes a little getting used to. Each wedding guest / participant gets their own narrative voice with duelling chapters. A picture perfect Irish island wedding provides an intriguing setting for a modern murder mystery.
Ignore the Agatha Christie references on the blurb, this one has a lot more adult content than Christie would envisage. It is chock full of unlikeable characters with horrible secrets and basically anyone could be the murderer.
Not the best murder mystery I've ever read, but entertaining, this one would make for a good holiday, beachside read. All families are a bit crazy.
4/5 - Weddings sometimes bring out the worst in people
