About the Book

The groom’s grip is icy cold as he shakes my hand. “I have so wanted to meet you.” I look up into his steely eyes and a chill runs down my spine. I know this man, but no one can ever know why…

THE BRIDESMAID: Toasting the newlyweds on a remote Scottish island, Sarah watches her friends anxiously. As the groom affectionately touches his new wife’s stomach, she shudders to think what will happen if the secret comes out…

THE FRIEND: With her marriage over, the last place Diane wants to be is at a wedding. But she’s sure her so-called ‘friends’ are the reason her husband wanted to leave in the first place. It’s time for the truth to come out. Whatever the cost.

THE GROOMSMAN: I’d do anything for the bride, even if it means agreeing to be a groomsman before I’ve even met her soon-to-be husband. But when we finally meet, my heart starts pounding – we know each other, and I will do absolutely anything to keep where we met a secret…

But before the honeymoon begins, one of the newlyweds is found dead.
One of us is guilty.
One of us is a killer.
But who is it?

My Review

I didn’t know what I was in for, and what I got was a wild ride! A secluded island and we don’t know who the killer is? We don’t even know if everyone is going to make it off the island! This is simply a masterpiece as far as thrillers go. It’s so fast paced and engaging, try to put it down, I dare you!

This book had me suspecting everyone. I tried to piece together the puzzle, but I just couldn’t do it. Then came the twists I was super surprised how it all ended up! I just don’t think anyone can predict this book. Sure, you can try, but this author has a fantastic, if not a little questionable (haha) mind!

Seriously though, this book is really enjoyable. As I said above, it’s fast paced and it’s an easy read. The author provides us a great atmosphere for the book, and we get little flashbacks of days and times leading up to the wedding that help provide insight into who might the suspect be, but never really provides the answer. There are multiple points of view told in the book, which is helpful when you’re trying to figure out who is behind it all! So, if you’re into thrillers at all, check this one out!
