The Guest List by Lucy Foley

On a secluded, windswept island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate the wedding of a glamorous and powerful couple. As a storm rages outside, the festivities unravel.

All of the attendees have a motive, and all are trapped on the island. In this thrilling whodunit, everyone is a suspect, and you’ll be guessing until the very last page.
