The Guest List by Lucy Foley

An Isolated Irish Island Whodunit of Remote Weddings, Dark Past Secrets, and Storm-Bound Suspense

On Inis Cormac, a desolate island off the western coast of Ireland, guests gather for the high-society wedding of magazine publisher Jules Keegan and charming reality television star Will Slater. As a tempestuous storm cuts off all communication and power to the island, hidden grudges and past betrayals emerge among the wedding party.

Tensions boil over during the reception when a body is discovered outside the marquee. Told through shifting perspectives between the bride, the groom, the plus-one, the bridesmaid, and the best man, the investigation reveals that multiple guests possessed deadly motives to kill the groom before the storm subsides.
