The bride-to-be drops dead at her bachelorette weekend, with all of her bridesmaids as suspects for her murder, in this wry thriller full of deadly twists and characters you’ll love to hate.
“I laughed, I gasped, and said ‘I do’ to this chilling romp sparkling with humor, Prosecco, and murder.”—Julia Seales, bestselling author of A Most Agreeable Murder
Who will be left standing when the bouquet is thrown?
Lauren, Saskia, Dominica, Farah, and Tansy have been best friends since grade school. They wonder if that was the last time they all actually liked each other. As adults, their lives have splintered. Tansy runs a vegan café and is preparing for a shotgun marriage to awful Ivan. Farah is engaged and is fast becoming a complete bridezilla. Dominica is a successful divorce attorney with no time for anything but work. Lauren has had a total “failure to launch” in her career and love life, consumed by a man who has spent years stringing her along. Saskia has married into wealth and a different circle of friends in a fancy part of London. Some days it seems that the only thing holding the group together is an event that happened in their youth twenty years ago—an incident they’ve all sworn to keep secret in order to protect one another.
When the group is reunited at Tansy’s bachelorette-cum-wellness-retreat weekend, it doesn’t take long for old grudges to surface. Then the bride-to-be chokes to death on a poisoned drink, and all of the bridesmaids are suspects.
Kate Weston explores the complexities of female friendship in this searingly funny, page-turning thriller. One of these bridesmaids may be a killer, and the group had better watch their sash-covered backs, because your oldest friends aren’t always your closest. . . .

      Friends since grade school, Saskia, Dominica, Tansy, Lauren, and Farah reunite to celebrate Farah's upcoming wedding. Tansy, the owner of a vegan caf�, is also preparing for her whirlwind wedding to a man she hardly knows. Saskia is now married to a wealthy man; Dominica is a successful divorce lawyer; and Lauren, who works at a makeup company, pines over her ex. They all come together for Farah's bachelorette/wellness weekend, but conviviality turns to horror when the soon-to-be bride is poisoned and dies. Now that they are all suspects, the bond of their friendship is tested. The only thing that really makes them friends is a secretive event that happened 20 years prior. Former stand-up comedian and YA author Weston's (Murder on a School Night) adult debut is a sardonic, over-the-top look at the ins and outs of friendship. Helen Reuben narrates the cattiness, backhanded compliments, and outrageous scenarios well, providing several laugh-out-loud moments and perfectly capturing the book's dry wit. Murder mystery and cozy mystery listeners will love this unique spin on a classic genre. VERDICT Hilarious, bloody good fun.--Elyssa Everling
