I thought it was a fun concept, but wasn't really that immersed the Home, Island as being that awesome of a destination. I liked the dynamics of the scheming employees and the battling brothers, but had a hard timing keeping straight in my mind all of the bad-deeds-doing celebrity guests. Part of it might have been listening on audiobook, as they blurred together a bit.

It reminded me of another thriller set in a remote island with a "locked room" group of suspects there for a wedding when the murders started. That one was also some island off English with bogs and whatnot. All of this makes me rethink remote island, non-tropical, as my dream destination.

I was i between giving this one three and four stars, but the number of times I had “holy shit” moments made me bump it up to a 4. A lot of characters and plot lines to keep track of!
slow-paced


Just could not get into this book. It had a lot of characters and then would bounce to news stories too. I had to sticky note the characters  page to keep referring back. Not my favorite! 


3.5** A little slow at first, but then it all came together and there were some interesting twists that tied all the storylines together.
fast-paced

Helaas ben ik niet enthousiaster! Recensie volgt
