Characters
Kyler Malloy - A stockbroker in London who lived with Nancy's family as an exchange student four years ago. She is now engaged to Matt Simmons and is excited to hold her wedding at Castle Malloy. Her grandfather, Edmund Malloy, recently died and named her as sole beneficiary. He never spoke about his childhood and Kyler is just now learning about her true family history.
Matt Simmons - A travel and sailing freelance magazine writer. Known for his dry wit, Matt loves to play pranks on others. Friendly and likable, he had wanted to get married in the Bahamas, but agreed to change his plans to make his fiancée, Kyler Mallory, happy.
Kit Foley - Matt's best friend and accomplice on sailing trips. Kit was born in the US and is the son of a Krolmeister executive. His family moved to London when Kit was young, but he kept his American accent. He currently works as a land developer, and he arrived early to help Matt and Kyler prepare for their wedding. He used to date Kyler, and was the one who introduced Kyler to Matt.
Donal Delany - Castle Malloy's ever-present caretaker, Donal has been overseeing the grounds for too many years to count. This Irish-born gentleman isn't particularly fond of the British, as he is first to admit. He is the resident expert on Irish mythology and lore, which might explain his superstitious nature. He likes Kyler but hates Matt.
Alan Paine - Matt's best man and colleague. He can only be contacted by phone.
Seamus - The owner of The Screaming Banshee Inn. He is an unseen character but you can hear his voice when Nancy is making drinks.

“A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.”
—Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
“Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
