Seven top thrillers set at weddings

Amanda Jayatissa loves to read disturbing books with shocking plot twists, so it seemed logical to her that she should attempt to write disturbing books with shocking plot twists. When she isn’t recovering from a self-induced book hangover, she works tirelessly as the chief taste tester at the cookie shop she co-owns. She grew up in Sri Lanka and has lived in the California bay area and British countryside, before relocating back to her sunny island, where she lives with her husband and two Tasmanian-devil-reincarnate huskies.

Jayatissa's new thriller is You're Invited.

At CrimeReads she tagged seven of the best thrillers set at weddings, including:
Every Vow You Break, by Peter Swanson

What happens after you make it through the wedding? You have to survive the honeymoon, of course! Abigail Baskin makes a terrible mistake during her bachelorette weekend— she had a one-night-stand with a stranger. Hoping to put it behind her, she goes ahead with the wedding, but things start to unravel as this man shows up during her honeymoon, professes his love to her, and mysterious things start happening on the island that Abigail cannot leave. This story is a slow burn, but definitely dials up the creepy elements!
