I watched the Netflix series before reading this and wonder if I’d have a different rating if I hadn’t done so. While the book differs from the show in a number of ways, the mystery was ultimately lacking (of my own doing). I enjoyed the writing style but the ending felt abrupt. It was also hard not to picture the characters the way they were portrayed in the series. Overall a decent White Lotus-ish read.

The mystery itself was well-plotted, and kept me guessing to the end, but I honestly didn’t like any of the characters. I felt like every single one of them was toxic, even the people who were supposed to be the protagonists we were rooting for (the people doing the investigating were fine). And the end scene was downright depressing and ultimately unsatisfying. For a beach read, I would want a much more satisfying ending.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a mystery, and this was a great way to get back into it. Extremely quick read - couldn’t put it down. Everytime i thought I had it figured out i was still a little bit off. 

Personally, i wish I had a little bit more from some of the characters I really liked, such as the bride’s parents, the pregnant sister-in-law, and the groom. 

The ending is satisfactory but still leaves you wanting a bit more. 

Really liked the inclusion of the chief. 

Difficult to track character development since it jumps around so much between characters and dates.
