I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader.  It's the usual thriller type you'd expect from the author concerning a wedding on a remote island, where the guests gather, old friends, grudges, jealousy, family dramas, one body and the murderer still on the Island. A cracking thriller/mystery
