A picture-perfect wedding, planned to perfection, only to end up falling to pieces – that is what you have to look forward to when you reach for this book. The Wedding Party fizzes with energy and you will not be able to turn these pages fast enough.

I am sad to say I have heard the name but I have never read any of Tammy Cohen’s books. What a shame that I have been missing out. Her work jumps off the page as you are dragged into the story. This book was creepy and chilling and left me wanting more. I loved the journal entries and police transcripts though in between which keeps you on edge as you try to figure out “whodunit’. This was a gripping read full of amazing scenery.

Lucy planned the perfect wedding on a Greek Island and invited only the people she loved the most. But as the small group are thrown together, emotions run away as secrets are revealed and Jess (Lucy’s younger sister) insists on stealing the spotlight. Lucy quickly turns into a bridezilla. All she wants is for everything to be about her, yet Jess is arguing with Shelly and Zoe, her parents are hiding something while her soon to be mother-in-law keeps standing between her and Jason and Gabriel, her sister’s plus one appears to be a dark horse with a hidden past.

The never to be forgotten wedding turns out to be just that when a body is found….

Something always goes wrong at a wedding, no matter how much planning goes into it, but poor Lucy has everything go wrong. I loved the surprises along the way and all the secrets that were revealed even as everyone was trying hard not to spoil Lucy’s day. This was a book I could not read fast enough. I loved the colourful characters and the flaws that made them so realistic. However, the way the author managed to draw a picture of the breathtaking scenery left me in awe. Greece has always been high on my want-to-see list and after reading this I simply have to find a way to get myself there.

I loved the women in this book. Hazel, while slightly aloof, is brilliant as she puts her kids first. Lucy is the perfect bridezilla and when you find out how she has overspent you realise she is just a normal woman who has dreamt of the perfect wedding all her life. Shelly was just a little too mousy and “nice” to my liking – sadly I could never be friends with someone like her, I would constantly be asking myself why she was so “nice”. The author did a fantastic job with Vivian – the more I read about her the more my skin crawled as I found her creepy. As for Jess, I found her an amazing young woman who refused to do what was expected of her as she did her best to remain authentic only to discover that maybe she was trying just a little too hard. Her youth was beautifully captured.

In case it is not clear – I loved this book. I could not get through it fast enough and when I reached the last page I was disappointed that it ended. I could have spent a little more time lost on that incredible Greek island. As you turn the pages, you feel like you are there with the characters.

Thriller fans will find this glamorous tale gripping, chilling and impossible to put down. This is a magnificent read which I highly recommend. Soon-to-be-Brides might want to wait till after their big day before reading this – as it just might leave you a little paranoid seeing what all could go wrong!
