PEOPLE WILL TALK

Three women linked to the same man attend his wedding, then try to figure out who’s framing them for his new bride’s murder.

Maya Romero, estranged daughter of a mobster, is a tennis star who’s just won Wimbledon. She hasn’t spoken to her boyfriend, Peter Frank, in a week, but she’s been invited to a party at his parents’ house. What she doesn’t know is that it’s a wedding between her boyfriend and another woman, Tilly Dansforth. Catherine Farr has also been invited to the party. She broke up with Peter 12 years earlier when he cheated on her with another woman, Monica, but she knows they’re destined to be together, so whenever he’s needed her, she’s come running. Monica’s sister, Leanne Gladstone, is tied to Peter because of the child Monica and Peter had as a result of their affair. When Monica died in a car accident, Leanne and her husband took in Hudson, now 11. Hours before her surprise wedding, Tilly calls all three women to Peter’s room and tells them to back off—he will no longer be in their lives. When Tilly turns up dead the next morning, all three are left scrambling, trying to figure out why there’s incriminating evidence pointing to them. Peter’s ability to string all three women along with his lies—that he loves Maya and Catherine, that he will be granting Leanne full custody of Hudson—begins to unravel as they confer with one another and realize his playboy ways. Of course, there’s a satisfying twist at the end as all is revealed. Love, betrayal, and the choices that women are willing to make to protect the people they love are deliciously unpacked.

A fun little murderous romp.
