Much like The Girl on the Train, the narrator has forgotten key parts of a night that a crime takes place and you're not sure if she is trustworthy. One takeaway point from the book is to think twice about attending a bachelorette party if it's taking place in the middle of the woods in a creepy glass house with long lost friends/acquaintances. Maybe just send a card next time?

A good thriller. Kept me intrigued. Very quick read. I'd give it 3.5 stars

By the time I was 2/3's done, I had to keep reading until done. Kept me up to the wee hours!

Predictable but entertaining

Can't remember too much about this book, but it was pretty good. I can see it being a movie 100% and the screenplay is so perfectly written out already. I do know when I first started reading it, I didn't realize it was British, and had to google what a hen was.

Good psychological thriller set in a creepy locale.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a short and fast paced murder mystery. As the story sets up, I was thinking ooooh this reminds me of Agatha Christie's "And then There Were None"; and sure enough like 10 pages later the characters in the book reference this book! Ha.

The ending was a tad bit predictable, but somehow I still loved the book! Highly recommend; especially to any Agatha Christie fan.
