About this listen

Succession meets Lucy Foley's The Guest List in this thriller with a big heart and even bigger surprises, from the author of Hidden Pictures.
'One of the best books of the year' First Clue
'A dynamite thriller with a fizzing fuse' Peterborough Telegraph

The guests are arriving, and the celebrations are starting. But there's something strange about this wedding...

Frank Szatowski hasn't seen his daughter Maggie in years, and it breaks his heart every day. So when she calls him out of the blue, to tell him that she's getting married and he's invited, Frank is overjoyed.

Maggie is marrying into one of the richest families in the country, and Frank finds himself overwhelmed by the social circle she now moves in. He'll do anything to reconnect, though, and arrives at their New Hampshire estate ready to bond however he can with Maggie's in-laws.

But as the wedding weekend gets underway, it becomes clear to Frank that although they have spared no expense, there's something strange about Maggie's fiancé. And maybe Frank shouldn't be celebrating just yet...

Critic Reviews

Part conspiracy thriller, part family drama, The Last One at the Wedding kept my heart racing and my mind reeling from its first page to its devastating conclusion (RILEY SAGER)
The best thriller I've read all year. I haven't had this much fun with a book in a long time (GRADY HENDRIX)
I now have a new favourite author . . . Jason Rekulak's characterisation is incredible, and this gripping mystery had such a heart to it. The expertly-crafted twist made me gasp (LOUISE JENSEN)
Tense and atmospheric, with characters that draw you immediately in and keep a tight hold, The Last One at the Wedding is every father's worst nightmare. Jason Rekulak knows how to keep readers glued to the page; I couldn't put this one down! (MARY KUBICA)
Jason Rekulak is one of my favourite writers, a gifted storyteller and wonderful stylist. The Last One at the Wedding is a marvellous blend of mystery, family drama, class tension, horror, humour, and heart. A relentless, thoughtful thriller that always keeps you guessing and lingers long after the last page is read (MICHAEL KORYTA)

Promising but flawed

There’s a good, slow-burning suspense book in here and there’s an OK twist halfway through the book but then it all turns into a trashy thriller in the second half and the ending seems abrupt.

There’s a good, decent protagonist in here, a working man who keeps his word. There are also some good observations about parenting but there isn’t good closure at the end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
