ABOUT THE BRIDAL PARTY
 
Sometimes friendship can be murder...
 
It's the weekend of Clarisse's bridal party, a trip the girls have all been looking forward to. Then, on the day of their flight, Tamsyn, the maid of honour, suddenly backs out. Upset and confused, they try to make the most of the stunning, isolated seaside house they find themselves in.
 
But, there is a surprise in store - Tamsyn has organised a murder mystery, a sinister game in which they must discover a killer in their midst. As tensions quickly boil over, it becomes clear to them all that there are some secrets that won't stay buried...

My Review:

The thing about weddings and hen weekends is that they are meant to be fun. So why do they always feel like forced-aren't-we-having-fun-fun. The first chapter was perfect in instilling hesitation from the bride-to-be when following the maid of honour's directions to a mysterious location.
 
I enjoyed getting to know the women and forgot about the pending twists and turns. There was enough intrigue and mystery that anyone could've done it. And about two-thirds during the book I was sure I had nailed the ending, only to be completely wrong. It was a great story that kept you guessing to the very last chapter. Bravo!
 
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
