That book makes me want to create a salty category. In fact, this is now the fourth time I’m doing it. Since I started this site, it is rare that I’ve gone full throttle on a book. The Guest List by Lucy Foley? Not one of those instances apply. And reviews where I even say look it was me, not the book- YMMV. Buffy, not me.Ī lot of people are new here (YAY!), so a quick explanation. I think comparing this book to Agatha Christie might be the greatest insult ever since, I don’t know, my Great Aunt (when I was in my 20s and had blonde hair) said I looked like Sarah Michelle Geller (Buffy). I’m gonna just throw in my random opinion here. * Footnote (apparently Jay Kristoff has rubbed off on me) – I’ve never read Agatha Christie but her reputation proceeds her. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why? The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.Īnd then someone turns up dead. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. 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.īut perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. 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 bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher.
The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The bride The plus one The best man The wedding planner The bridesmaid The body I just can’t promise that what I’m about to do in my review of The Guest List will give you that foundation:Ī wedding celebration turns dark and deadly in this deliciously wicked and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie* from the author of The Hunting Party. Most of you already know where this is going, and I just can’t. Here is the summary of the Guest List by Lucy Foley because my review… I can’t.
