Structurally, this repeats the format of Foley's The Hunting Party: a group of friends and others, everyone with a secret - and nearly everyone with a motive for murder... though we don't find out who's dead till nearly the end. The voices all sound the same and some of the various 1st person narratives start to drag and get repetitive but there's enough gossip and scandal to keep the pages turning. We obviously don't expect great literature in this genre but even so two massive coincidences revealed are one too many. Still, a fun and entertaining read.

A wedding party on a remote island off the Connemara coast. A wild stormy night and a body. The narrative moves between the stormy wedding night and the events leading up to it. The primary voices are the bride, her younger sister, her best friend's wife, and the wedding planner.

An atmospheric thriller, the island and other plot settings are well-described. There are twists and turns towards the end. An enjoyable page-turner.
