Ten Perfect Guests by Jonathan Santlofer

September 2026

TEN PERFECT GUESTS by Jonathan Santlofer opens with 10 people being invited to a private island for a weekend memorial service for Victor D’Arcangelo, an artist who recently has died. Attendance is mandatory if you hope to reap part of the inheritance that he has left behind. All attendees arrive via first-class travel on planes and water vehicles. It feels very posh, and though there is tension among them, there is an expectation that this could be a pleasant weekend. 

The guests include Victor’s art dealers, a critic, his ex-wife, his son…you get the picture. And they are all in it for the money.
