I really liked it, I was hooked from the beginning. Expect the unexpected with this book, it makes you think you know what's going on but you don't. The ending was a bit anticlimatic but I still enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, this was my least favorite by her. I was excited for the locked room mystery trope and because it’s inspired by And Then There Were None but I don’t think any of the modern thrillers do it justice at all. It was boring, repetitive, and the ending was ridiculous imo.

ah yes another take off of agatha christie’s AND THEN THERE WERE NONE! 🧐 theoretically, I should be sick of this trope, but there’s something about the heart-pounding adventure thriller that always gets me…

freida is the queen of psycho thrillers - and this one is no exception! I was beyond curious the entire time on the identity of the narrator, and I’m happy to say that my guess was completely incorrect 😨 

while I did guess one of the plot twists, simply from reading way too many thrillers in my life, it didn’t make or break the book for me. I love being right sometimes 😅😇 but only sometimes 

the only thing holding me back from 5 stars is the similarity to another thriller that had me wondering which book came first … but seeing as how they were both inspired by agatha’s novel, it was bound to happen

I will forever be binging freida’s books until I’m sadly completely caught up in her backlist!
