Jede hat ihr Geheimnis und kaum eines habe ich kommen sehen. Die Auflösungen waren super, allerdings bin ich mit den Protagonistinnen nicht warm geworden.
Und zwischenzeitlich hatte es mir zu viele längen.

Good twists. The characters all felt a little similar and took me a long time to distinguish between them all. The ending was a little to saccharine for me.

Loved how this all came together. I found I was holding my breath near the end when the shit started to hit the fan.

Not a typical lover of thriller books, but this one was better than others I read. Quick fast read, always wondering what the next twist will be. Don't quite agree with the ending, but there is always that remaining secret.

I enjoyed this one. While it was not my favorite psychological thriller it kept me entertained from start to finish.

Some things I did not like: I was not fond of the frequently used hen party description of the woman nor did I find the characters themselves to be all that likable but it definitely had its moments. The 6 friends were so different from each other it was hard to picture their friendship dynamic working. This book was rather predictable but I think with this genre it’s hard to always provide the mind blowing plot twist.

Some things I did like: This story being set in Greece made for nice mental imagery while reading. The chapters are short so it made it a comfortable fast paced story. The style in which the story was laid out was one of my favorites! The murder happens right away and then we jump to a week prior to then uncover how we got to the crime all the while unraveling the mysteries of each character. I The ending wrapped everything very nicely and I was left satisfied.

I would suggest this to anyone who is dipping their toes into this genre.
