The destination wedding of the beautiful, business savvy and chic Jules Keegan to the handsome TV star Will Slater is set off the coast of Ireland. The couple of self-involved influencers seemed made for each other. But, neither have a clue about what's going to go seriously awry with their pending nuptials, tempers stewing.and tempest brewing. Despite all the accoutrements of a sensational and salacious wedding party about to assemble, all is not as it seems. It would seem author Lucy Foley fancies Agatha Christie's paradigm; a confined setting making the culprit culpable from amongst a limited brood. Unfortunately, Foley failed to write a clever who done it. Born in the UK, Foley is an author of mysteries, historical and contemporary fiction and best selling author of "The Paris Apartment". Foley relied on updating Chrities' mysteries with attractive people arranged in glamorous manors mixed in with modern day mayhem. Foley's characters have their own backstory baggage of issues meant to construe bigger quandaries to untangle. Jules has daddy issues and mommy complaints. Her beautiful half-sister Olivia has heartbreak galore we're meant to explore. But, Hell hath no fury like her sister Bridezilla. No one puts a crink Jules' day away from the limelight. Will has a posh group of boarding school friends including Johnny O who never did blend. When a dead body is found by a posse with torches, the possible perpetrators with motives have compounded. The big reveal fell well below making me dumbfounded. "The Guest List" is a bit of a plane ride distraction; worth only a fraction of your captive detention. If you're looking for a beguiling mystery, "The Guest List" doesn't make the cut.
