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.
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…

Memorable and twisty
PRAISE FOR HIDDEN PICTURES
Rekulak impresses with this engrossing tale of a widowed father who starts to sense darkness beneath his daughter's impending marriage . . . the unwavering pace will keep readers up all night
The best thriller I've read all year. I haven't had this much fun with a book in a long time
Rekulak has a freakishly fertile imagination
Genuine jump-scares
I loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down
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!
Tightly plotted and well written . . . A gripping page-turner with intriguing characters and genuinely creepy moments
A perfect summer thriller
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
Must be the boldest double twist of the year. Truly fantastic
PRAISE FOR THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING
Whip-smart, creepy as hell . . . Destined to be a classic of the genre
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
I'm going to call it like it is: this is one of the best books of the year. Strong characterisation, a fascinating environment, and a good wallop of suspense makes for one compelling read
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
