I am a fan of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" and I really appreciated the homages this mystery paid to it. I also liked that they give you all the clues to try and solve the mystery by yourself, and the ending as everything clicked into place was very satisfying.

A great fast paced thriller. I loved the play on Agatha Christie's 'and then there were none' with a twist. I liked how there was two separate story lines that interwove to make up the mystery in the book. The reveal caught me off guard completely and was very clever. On the other hand I did not see a need for the epilogue at the end of the book, I personally could not figure out the purpose of it.
