具體描述
The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

##比較一般，情感和劇情的轉摺都有點生硬

評分##文筆差+節奏慢～讀到15%時決定棄瞭
評分##失望的原因並不是因為能猜到whodunit, 也不僅僅是因為期待值太高而未達到（不少人拿它跟阿加莎的作品相比），主要還是因為將受害者和凶手同時隱藏到故事最後是很冒險的寫法，這是一種比較漫長的build up, 因此當讀者輕易猜到一切的時刻就會自然覺得anticlimactic……除此之外，各個人物登場雖然好像筆墨不少，但其實人物刻畫的並不形象豐滿（除瞭知道每個人都有過去的秘密就沒什麼其他的瞭），整個故事也沒有什麼可以凝練的現實意義（也許是我要求太高，但最近幾年很多好的懸疑作品都有很不錯的take home messages）...反正是失望的。唯一很成功的地方就是有聲版的演員演繹得都很棒。
評分節奏太緩慢瞭，大部分篇幅就是婚禮肥皂劇，推動劇情發展那是一點一點擠牙膏，擠一厘米縮迴去半厘米那種。感到刺激的片段像是幕間一閃而過。最後結尾節奏又飛快，硬是給反轉瞭好幾次，可是因為角色們隱藏的秘密都是差不多的味道，感受不到魅力。
