Loved the setting and a few of the characters as well as the app- it was a fun idea that was fleshed out well. I didn't like the reveal- the killer's characterization took such a sharp turn from what it had been which felt lame, and the motivation ultimately didn't feel quite strong enough.

Fun whodunnit and a quick read (would recommend for a vacation read)--but if you're a murder mystery fan, very easy to spot the murderer early on in the book. I've seen a lot of negative reviews for people expecting this to be the next And Then There Were None. I wouldn't classify this as a locked room mystery as others have--it relies on all the old tropes in a predictable way and it's easy to deduce the murderer from the very beginning. There is also a fair bit of resolution after the reveal, so if you prefer your mysteries to end with the reveal, this book may drag out for you. But if you know what you're in for--a fun, if a little standard, whodunnit--this mystery is a cool (literally) setting with a good dose of squirming, entitled British-aristocracy-meets-modern-tech-bros. Additional content warnings: avalanche (environmental disaster/death) and a fair amount of profanity, if that's not your cup of tea.
