Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for my ARC of Reckless Girls. I found myself unable to put down Rachel Hawkins’ latest book. The pages basically turned themselves.

A classic locked room mystery, only this time on a deserted, and reportedly cursed, island. With a tight cast of 7 characters, it was fun trying to to sort of how much I really knew about each person and how much they were all really capable of. There are some good twists, one which I guessed and another that slapped me in the face with “oh my gosh how did I not see this coming” ferocity.

I definitely recommend Reckless Girls for fellow murder mystery fans.

Really predictable, but I wonder if the audiobook gave away some of the twists.

3.5 - Started slow but once the action picked up it was easier to follow along. I waited for an explanation on the mystery of the island and tragedies that took place there but that never came so I was a bit disappointed with that.
