At each assault the whole structure seems to flex and shudder with a loud groaning of metal the guests cower in alarm. It shrieks around them, it batters the marquee. It’s impossible to see where anyone is or hear what anyone is saying: above the guests’ voices the wind rises in a frenzy. The light from the candles on the tables only adds to the confusion, sends shadows racing up the canvas walls. Inside the marquee the wedding guests squeal and clutch at one another. In an instant, everything is in darkness. One guest won’t leave this wedding alive. And as a storm unleashes its fury on the island, everyone is trapped. The wedding cake has barely been cut when one of the guests is found dead.
