It's trying to be And Then There Were None, pretty explicitly, and I think it does an okay job of that. But I didn't really like it. The twist makes sense (although the epilogue didn't and that annoyed me). It was hard to care about any of the characters because they didn't have a ton of depth, and it felt like a lot of the book was just not having the information to know what was going on.

When nine people get a list of names in the mail, and one of them ends up dead, they're all at risk. But why are they on the list?
I saw the twist at the very end of the book coming, but not who the killer was or exactly why he was killing people.
The killer's life's not fair, woe is me, I'm a rich cis het white guy routine was annoying and I didn't feel bad for him. I mean people die and sometimes it's someone's fault and sometimes it's not, but retribution on the people isn't what we need.
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
For this big of an author, I think they should have gotten different narrators for each person, even if it's told in the 3rd person.

There are so many characters, and it's a typical pick them off one by one scheme. Abd the plot twist was so left field can we even call it a plot twist???
