Book Review: The Wedding Party by Tammy Cohen

AD* | Till death do us part...

Lucy has dreamt of her wedding day for as long as she can remember.

And now the day is almost here. Her nearest and dearest are gathered on an idyllic Greek island and she just knows it's going to be perfect. It has to be.

But even the best-laid plans can go horribly wrong. Why are her parents behaving so strangely? Why won't the rather odd lady from the airport stop hanging around? Who is the silent stranger her sister brought as a plus-1?

And then they find the body.

It's going to be a day to remember.

Tense, mysterious, and highly intriguing, The Wedding Party tells the tale of one bride's dream wedding going horribly wrong. 

Lucy has planned every last detail of her big day. From her strict pampering schedule to which room each guest is allocated to, nothing has been overlooked in her quest for wedding day perfection. However, despite the idyllic setting for her Greek island destination wedding, it quickly transpires that you just can't plan for every eventuality. And you definitely can't plan for an unexpected death.

Lucy's intimate, expensive dream wedding becomes a hotbed of lies, deception, and tension. When everyone has something to hide, what is their real agenda? Packed full of twists and turns, there's plenty to keep you guessing in this page-turner of a novel. 

Intriguingly, The Wedding Party starts off with the discovery of a body. The identity remains a secret, and as we flashback to explore the events leading up to the death, the real meat of the story begins. This truly is a guessing game - who will be the person winding up dead? 

The story is told from multiple character's perspectives which helps to tie all the different plot threads together. Everything joins up, and there are plenty of big reveals and unexpected moments along the way so you can slowly piece together what happened.

The Wedding Party is another strong thriller from Tammy Cohen. If you're looking to escape into a novel, this immersive book is the perfect story for you!
