Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of the runaway hit, Hidden Pictures, comes a stunning new work of domestic suspense

“Part conspiracy thriller, part family drama, The Last One at the Wedding kept my heart racing and my mind reeling.” ―Riley Sager

"The ultimate middle-class Dad battles the 1% for his daughter's soul in the best thriller I've read all year." ―Grady Hendrix

Frank Szatowski is shocked when his daughter, Maggie, calls him for the first time in three years. He was convinced that their estrangement would become permanent. He’s even more surprised when she invites him to her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. Frank is ecstatic, and determined to finally make things right.

He arrives to find that the wedding is at a private estate—very secluded, very luxurious, very much out of his league. It seems that Maggie failed to mention that she’s marrying Aidan Gardner, the son of a famous tech billionaire. Feeling desperately out of place, Frank focuses on reconnecting with Maggie and getting to know her new family. But it’s difficult: Aidan is withdrawn and evasive; Maggie doesn’t seem to have time for him; and he finds that the locals are disturbingly hostile to the Gardners. Frank needs to know more about this family his daughter is marrying into, but if he pushes too hard, he could lose Maggie forever.

An edge-of-your-seat thriller that delves deep into the heart of one family, The Last One at the Wedding is a work of brilliant suspense from a true modern master.

    The characters were not believable. Normal people do not do and say the things the main characters did in this novel. The suspense was weak and the ending was a bit of a letdown.
  • A story that makes it hard to put the book down

    I enjoyed the story, the style of writing, and fast pace of the story, always looked forward to pick up the book and start reading again.
  • Great setup, unnatural characters, and mediocre ending

    I got hooked into the setup of the story immediately after reading. The hooks are great. They got me constantly excited about the truth behind the mystery but nothing happened until half way through the book. During my read, I need to tolerate the unlikable and unnatural characters. Their behaviors and decisions don’t stay consistent or logically making senses to me throughout the book. There are explanations on why but the explanations are like someone explaining a joke to me. Like, I get it but I can’t feel it. The truth behind the mystery is really mediocre and unsatisfying. It was a fun read but I wouldn’t read it again. However, it got me hooked on the author. I’m now excited to read the Hidden Pictures.

    Not as twisty and thrilling as I assumed it would be after reading hidden pictures. The ending was just okay for me, but I did enjoy reading it! I liked the characters, as someone from the north east- I loved the setting; overall an easy read.

    I absolutely loved The Last One At The Wedding! So many of the characters stole my heart and I’ll be thinking of them for a long time to come. I couldn’t put the story down and read it in one day. Mr. Rekulak, please, write us more soon!
