About this listen

THE JUNE 2024 REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK!

Ellery Wainwright is alone at the edge of the world.

She and her husband, Luke, were supposed to spend their twentieth wedding anniversary together at the luxurious Resort at Broken Point in Big Sur, California. Where better to celebrate a marriage, a family, and a life together than at one of the most stunning places on earth?

But now she's traveling solo.

To add insult to injury, there's a wedding at Broken Point scheduled during her stay. Ellery remembers how it felt to be on the cusp of everything new and wonderful, with a loved and certain future glimmering just ahead. Now, she isn't certain of anything except for her love for her kids and her growing realization that this place, though beautiful, is unsettling.

When Ellery discovers the body of the groom floating in the pool in the rain, she realizes that she is not the only one whose future is no longer guaranteed. Before the police can reach Broken Point, a mudslide takes out the road to the resort, leaving the guests trapped. When another guest dies, it's clear something horrible is brewing.

Everyone at Broken Point has a secret. And everyone has a shadow. Including Ellery.

The White Lotus meets Agatha Christie in this bold novel from a #1 New York Times bestselling author: a recent divorcee's exclusive Big Sur resort vacation unravels when she discovers a dead body on the day of a wedding.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

'Ally Condie's adult debut THE UNWEDDING is a clever, witty, and fast-paced whodunit. I read it in one sitting and can't wait for the next.' (Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "I Will Find You")

'Mesmerizing! Equal parts a clever whodunit and compelling character's journey, The Unwedding will speak to anyone who's been there, done that, and had the vacation from hell thrown on top of it all. This Big Sur luxury resort closed-room mystery will stay with you well past the final page.' (Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author)

'Dead bodies, brutal secrets and a fabulous view - The Unwedding is proof that Ally Condie knows exactly what we love and what we fear. Come take a wonderful rollercoaster of a trip, but don't expect much sleep.' (Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of "The Lightning Rod")

'A knife's-edge whodunit that's as much a thriller as it is an exquisite meditation on grief and loss.' (Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Everything, Everything")

'A classic mystery for a modern world - I couldn't put it down!' (Ally Carter, New York Times bestselling author of "The Blonde Identity")

It will keep you guessing

I enjoyed this book. Found it on the Reese Witherspoon Book Club listing. The story is set in a holiday resort, where everyone is stuck, as a storm has washed out the Roads and mobile reception. Very modern Agatha Christie.
