So the story is well-written and I do think it rises above most thrillers. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why? The characters The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.Īnd then someone turns up dead. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress.

As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes.
