I could not finish this book despite its gorgeous setting on a wild Irish island near Connamara. The characters are all so unpleasant, either mean or whiney or sorry for themselves, that I could not stand it any longer. I gave up when yet another short "night of' chapter failed to divulge the murderer. The different points of view per chapter, slowly revealing the details of their lives and realtionships, was clever, but did not work for me because of the unpleasantness of the characters and their histories. I read a summary of the book, and the plot was even more ridiculous than I expected. It seems that through coincidence, the murdered groom had harmed absolutely everyone in the main party. I read a mystery book for the psychology, and not the plot. This book was very weak on psychology.
