Tantalizing family drama and murder mystery on Nantucket.
I love reading about a group of badly behaved rich people doing dumb things and winning stupid prizes. Even though there aren't really a lot of characters to root for in this contemporary and fast paced beach read, the story was very entertaining and easy to read in a couple of hours.
The wealthy Winbury family is hosting the wedding of their son at their lovely oceanfront home on the island. The bride is the daughter of parents who've lived paycheck to paycheck and her mother is dying of cancer. The others who have been invited come to the estate ready for a fabulous event. It promises to be an extravagant celebration -- but then, tragedy strikes.
Everyone is suddenly a suspect, and the local police need to interview the family and the guests. That's when all the secrets come to light. There is "no perfect couple" on the island, or anywhere.
I was lucky enough to be able to read the e-book while listening to the audiobook. The narrator did a wonderful job of voicing all the characters and adding the appropriate amount of dramatic flair to the reading. It definitely enhanced my enjoyment of the book, and I can't wait to see the adaptation on Netflix.
This is the 3rd book in a series of 4 but it is not necessary to have read the others to enjoy this as a standalone.
