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?
##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
##文笔差+节奏慢~读到15%时决定弃了
##比较一般,情感和剧情的转折都有点生硬
##不理解为啥在kindly评分那么高。 幸亏后来买了有声书。 真的不值得花时间读。 节奏太慢了。 睡一觉醒来还接的上。
##看在朗读配置还算用心的份上,给个三星吧,情节属实不行。
##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……
