People Will Talk is definitely a rich person’s murder mystery. Gave me some Agatha Christie vibes in how easy it seemed for the rich to avoid any police interference.
Peter invites his current girlfriend, his ex-college girlfriend, and his son’s guardian to his surprise wedding…where the bride is later murdered. Honestly, Peter was a TERRIBLE human being; I kept hoping for another murder (wink wink I’m not a murderer unless it’s fiction). I enjoyed getting the multiple POV from the three women, and never knowing who is reliable or who is lying.
People Will Talk was a quick read, with the story unfolding at a nice pace. Despite it being about a murder, it was actually pretty funny and entertaining. I’ll be sure to look for more from Kieran Scott in the future.

Girlssss — especially us talented & successful ones — we really should be past competing for some less-than-mediocre dood’s ring 😂 As the book even admits — they were “not put on this earth to save Peter Frank.”
Anyways this is a light read of a rich ‘n famous wedding whodunit involving 3 women suspected of killing said dood’s bitchy fiancée. Are these girls really so great though? 🤔

The fact that the female characters in this book were written by a woman is girl on girl crime. It was a twisty mystery.

It is time for the annual Frank family clambake in Cape May; everyone is turning out for the big event. Peter Frank is the beloved son and has an announcement to make at the shindig. On the guest list are some of the women in Peter's life. Maya, his girlfriend who just won Wimbledon; Catherine, his high school sweetheart and a successful wedding planner, who is still in love with him; and Leanne, his aunt and the legal guardian of his only son. These ladies have no idea what the announcement is until it is revealed that the clambake is also serving as a wedding...for Peter and a woman named Tilly. And Tilly has words for these women, words none of them want to hear. Maya and Peter are over, Peter will no longer be a business partner with Catherine, and Leanne will no longer have custody of Peter's son. These ultimatums do not go over well with any of them. So when Tilly ends up dead the following day, crushed to death by a chandelier, everyone is a suspect. Maya, Catherine, and Leanne join forces to figure out who killed Tilly to save their skins and reputations.
Rich people and a murder mystery combined to keep me guessing until the end. I loved the ladies, and their backstories (and skeletons in the closet) made for a real romp. We get each one's POV, which really adds to the story, misdirecting the reader multiple times. Great banter, over-the-top characters, and a wedding in the middle made this an enjoyable and fast-paced mystery.

Kieran Scott is definitely one to watch in this cross between chick lit and mystery (more the latter than the former). We follow the perspectives of Leanne, Maya, and Catherine as they try to clear their names and work through their pasts. I was frustrated by, but ended up loving, Catherine, was surprised by Maya, and admired Leanne. Who I didn’t love? Peter… definitely would have liked to see more accountability there.
This was a lighter read, and I enjoyed the women’s dynamics as well as the gradually deepening mystery. Exactly the kind of vacation book I’d recommend for those who love suspense and a mix of romance or for someone on the go who wants to pick this back up after a busy few days and not feel like they missed a beat.
