Finished: The Guest List (Foley) Another page-turner that I could barely put down! Guests gather on an island off the coast of Ireland to attend the wedding of Jules, a high class magazine editor and Will, a television star with a Bear Grylls type show. The island has only the single manor in use, restored by the wedding planner and her husband. Only the wedding party stays on the island the night before, with the rest of the guests arriving by boat on the wedding day. Many stories about old school days between the groom and his friends come out, as well as a few secrets between other guests. By the time the wedding ceremony is finished the next day and all the guests have gathered in the tents for the reception, a terrifying storm has hit the island, and when the lights go out, someone is murdered. The story told from different viewpoints explains how several different people would have a motive for killing the victim, each new surprise making my head spin! The prose flows easily and lets you get to know each of the wedding party pretty well, especially the various narrators. I was glad to see the victim go, surprised at who the killer ended up being, but satisfied with who was actually blamed for the murder. :-) Obviously I don't want to give too much away on this one because it's a good read.
