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...

MEDIA REVIEWS

PRAISE FOR THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING - -

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

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 - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Fun, propulsive - KIRKUS

A dynamite thriller with a fizzing fuse . . . 9/10 - PETERBOROUGH TELEGRAPH

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

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 - FIRST CLUE

Rekulak slyly reminds us that money isn't the only thing that blinds us to bad behaviour with a unique combination of class commentary and thrills - BOOKLIST

Suspensefully told, and disturbingly realistic - CRIMEREADS

PRAISE FOR HIDDEN PICTURES - -

I loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down - STEPHEN KING

Must be the boldest double twist of the year. Truly fantastic - THE TIMES

Genuine jump-scares - GUARDIAN

Tightly plotted and well written . . . A gripping page-turner with intriguing characters and genuinely creepy moments - DAILY MIRROR

Rekulak has a freakishly fertile imagination - NEW YORK TIMES

A perfect summer thriller - GRADY HENDRIX

Memorable and twisty - ESQUIRE

Whip-smart, creepy as hell . . . Destined to be a classic of the genre - RANSOM RIGGS
