OK, so this is a book all about drahmah, but I kind of love that, so...drama it is! Most of the people are terrible, but the book is well set (very cool Irish island) and the activity fast-paced and framed around a mysterious murder that keeps you turning pages!

A good read that made it hard to figure out who did it until the end. A lot of skipping back and forth in time. Would recommend checking trigger warnings.

I genuinely couldn’t put it down, it just got crazier and crazier. I was reading 80-100 pages in one sitting! A couple of the twists/reveals were a bit predictable or a little too coincidental, but overall such a good book!!
