“Fans of The White Lotus and Knives Out will gobble up this whip-smart whodunit.”—Marie Claire

"A gripping whodunit in the vein of Agatha Christie, A Killer Wedding will keep you guessing until the final, shocking twist.” —Liv Constantine, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

Wildly witty and wickedly fun, A Killer Wedding is an escapist mystery that proves you’ll never forget your wedding day…especially if it starts with a murder.

Christine can’t believe her luck. The iconic Gloria Beaufort, founder of the billion-dollar beauty empire Glo, has personally chosen her to cover her grandson’s wedding for Bespoke, the cult fashion magazine that every A-list bride dreams of being featured in. A career-making scoop and a free trip to a castle turned five-star hotel on the Emerald Isle? It feels too good to be true… Because it is. Gloria is found dead on the very first morning of the celebratory weekend, and her entire family wants to keep her death a secret and for the wedding to march on. When Gloria’s heirs issue a chilling warning to Christine to keep things quiet, she can’t help but wonder if one of them is guilty. There’s

• the son who’s hiding a damaging lawsuit;
• the resentful daughter-in-law; the grandson who’s had a few too many run-ins with the law;
• his ambitious wife who’s hiding more than one secret
• Gloria’s favorite grandchild, the picture-perfect groom.

As Christine navigates a world where glamour masks grimy secrets and everyone she meets is a suspect, she realizes that among this glitzy elite, nothing is as it seems. Set against the dazzling backdrop of ultimate luxury and an endless reveal of surprises, A Killer Wedding is a fast-paced, humorous mystery the pulls back the curtain on toxic family dynamics hidden beneath the surface of billionaire-level wealth.

Started slow but got good

I almost put this book down multiple times because the characters just weren’t very interesting to me. There were too many of them and they weren’t doing anything of note but towards the end of the book, it all started coming together and got good.
I am not sure I’d recommend it, however

Sooo good!

It’s long, but witty and full of interesting twist and turns and excellent narration is pure perfection! Can hardly wait to read Joan’s next book!

Clever

Lots going on at this intriguing killer wedding! Great wrap up in the end! Bravo Joan!!

Clever Mystery

As others have said, it takes a few chapters to get truly interested, but as you become familiar with the format and learn to identify the cast of characters you will remain interested and entertained to the end. Love the ending! I am always happy with a narrator that does men and women well, Amanda Dolan was outstanding.
