About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Stranger at the Wedding by A. E. Gauntlett, read by Sophie Rundle.

Addictive, compulsive, entertaining, this is a brilliantly dark and messy thriller for everyone who has deleted the dating apps, given up on love and raced through THE PERFECT MARRIAGE

'Sharp, shocking, twisting and twisted' Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of All the Colours of the Dark
'Will have you compulsively reading' HEAT
'Original . . . unpredictable' DAILY MAIL
'Gauntlett is a master of misdirection' NEW YORK TIMES

Annie never believed in true love. Not until she met Mark. It’s a whirlwind romance and Annie has never felt surer about anything in her life.

But as she stands at the altar, she spots an unknown face in the crowd.

Who is the stranger at the wedding? What really happened to Mark’s first wife?

And is Annie really the person she says she is?

The stranger at the wedding: whose side are you on?

Critic reviews

An elegant, chilling thriller that kept me guessing – I was gripped by this clever study of love, obsession and the myths we tell ourselves about a happy ever after (Phoebe Locke)
Beautifully written and completely gripping ... a propulsive, consuming mystery (Amy Jordan)
Nothing about The Stranger at the Wedding is as it seems – especially how the happy couple came to be. Surprises lurk throughout this thrilling blend of myth, suspense, and delightfully disturbing twists (Chris Cander, author of The Weight of a Piano)
The Stranger at the Wedding is an eerie and intelligent meditation on how pasts shape us, subverting readers' expectations the moment you believe you've guessed the plot. A. E. Gauntlett has produced an expertly written tale whose characters possess rich and recondite interiorities and intentions, about which you'll be guessing until the last page (Flora Collins, author of Nanny Dearest)
