From acclaimed artist and author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh, Jonathan Santlofer delivers Ten Perfect Guests, a sinister thriller blending classic whodunit tension with a lush, tropical setting. Ten guests are summoned to a remote island for a weekend memorial honoring celebrated artist Victor D’Arcangelo. The catch? Attend — or forfeit your inheritance. Among them: his bitter current wife, his even more bitter ex-wife, his estranged brother, a debt-ridden gallerist, a shady European dealer, a scandal-prone pharma heiress, a failed musician, a disgruntled critic, a degenerate son, and an illegitimate daughter. Each has something to gain — and something to hide. Upon arrival, they’re asked a chilling question: How did you help — or harm — Victor D’Arcangelo? A genius and a cad in life, Victor’s true motives remain a mystery. Is he orchestrating revenge from beyond the grave? Or is someone else pulling the strings? By weekend’s end, not everyone will survive.
