The Guest List by Lucy Foley

This was an interesting murder mystery, in the sense that you never find out who died or how they died until the very end. You know that somebody dies at this wedding on an island, and there are some very creepy and dark scenes every few chapters or so that are showing the people at the wedding finding out that something happened and slowly getting clues about it, but the rest of the book is slowly working up to what happened and giving lots of backstory for all of the characters. There are a lot of different points of view from different characters, all of whom end up having motives to be a murderer (although they don't all know it, even, until the end). I really felt the creepiness of the setting and the impending doom as things really seemed like it was going south, so Lucy Foley did a good job at that. I also really liked each of the characters that narrated--or, if I didn't like them, I could understand them and differentiate them. Overall, this was really interesting and well done.
