A pretty cookie cutter mystery on an island. I think the bows were tied a little too neatly for me in the end, but it was suspensful and a page turner for sure.

A great murder mystery; I found myself constantly guessing who was the murderer and who was the victim. And some of the twists literally caused me to gasp. 

Foley also does a great job with characterization. I was able to perfectly visualize each character and understand their motivations.

What a great murder mystery! I don't know how others figured the ending out with all the twists the author was throwing at us. I had guesses as to who was killed and who did it but I was way off each time. The only things I wasn't a big fan of was the bouncing back and forth in the timelines, which was confusing at times for me, and the pacing felt a little slow for me at the beginning. Overall, a great story! I'd definitely like to read more from this author in the future.

A story trope that’s familiar, told in a jaw dropping way. The narrators did a fantastic job of bringing each character to life, exposing their secrets as it all unfolded. I canceled my plans to finish this book. Recommending wholeheartedly!!

An excellently written, wonderfully intricate thriller mystery. Foley's five narrators are evocative, their distinct voices a perfect blend.
