Well I have finally dipped my toe into the pool of books that is “murder mystery”. The Guest list is set at a wedding on a isolated island off the coast of Western Ireland. Where someone on the evening of the wedding has been murdered and the suspects are those listed on the table chart. 

This book is a multiple point of view novel that plays out like a game of cluedo With each chapter we learn more dirty little secrets about each of the characters and start to put together who they don’t like and any motives they may have. There is even a few moments of “oh that could be the murder weapon and oh they are in that room!”

Between these soul baring memoirs we have a spattering of current events as we slowly discover, something has happened, that what has happened is a murder, who is murdered and ultimately who did it. 

I did guess a lot of the connections between the characters and some of the twists and the victim but I was surprised when the killer was revealed as it seemed to be the one link I didn’t put together. 
It’s not a literary masterpiece and some of the connections do get a bit ridiculously coincidental but I did enjoy the ride. 

I had a great time reading this as part of the #shamybuddyread and will likely dabble in the genre again.
