Gripping, entertaining, twisted and intense, The Last One at the Wedding is another intriguing book by Jason Rekulak! This book is full of secrets, lies, twists, drama, family issues, and atmosphere.
Frank is shocked when his daughter, Maggie, calls him after three years of estrangement to let him know that she is going to get married in New Hampshire soon! She wants him to be there, and he is more than happy to hear from her and to be back in her life! Her finance, Aidan, is an artist who seems a little aloof, but Frank is willing to give him time. Prior to arriving to Aidan’s family estate, Frank receives an ominous letter. When Frank, his sister and her foster daughter arrive at for the wedding festivities in New Hampshire, he learns that the locals have their own thoughts on the Gardner family.
This was a twisted and engaging book which kept me on my toes as it became clear that all that glitters, as the saying goes, was not gold. Things are bubbling underneath the surface of the perfect setting and posh lifestyle of the Gardner family. As Frank becomes more concerned, the tension and sense of dread begin to emanate and flow throughout the book.
I kept trying to figure out how things were going to turn out and I thought I was quite clever but then the author threw in a twist, and I found that I was far from the truth! I love when that happens.
I have read one other book by this author, Hidden Pictures, and enjoyed how this book was completely different from that book. This book is completely different, and I appreciate how the author went in another direction for this book.
I enjoyed the drama, the suspense, the tension, the twists, deception, and secrets in this book. I found this book to be well written, well thought out, and gripping. I also enjoyed the beautiful New England setting which provided atmosphere.
I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
