Very satisfying ending, I figured out the murderer but I was over 80% of the way through before I called it.

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.

4.0

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.

Very quick and easy read, I enjoyed it. At a point near the end I was starting to get a little bored and I was planning to give it 3 stars but then the last couple chapters turned it around and I settled on 3.5.

Way darker than I expected. Very tense and gripping. The characters aren't really loveable, but you do feel some compassion for them.
