3.0

On one hand, the mystery was interesting, the thrilling bits intense, and the structure was fun. Having mixed media from the future opening each section was a nice choice for suspense building.

On the other hand, although realistic, alcoholic characters are boring to read. Congrats, half your problems are directly your fault, and I don't feel sorry for you at all.

This was my first book by Ruth Ware and it was a roller coaster of a ride.  It's hard to say too much though without giving away major spoilers.  The writing was well done, the characters well fleshed out and extremely realistic in their behaviors, IMO.   The details and scenery were stunning -- I could absolutely imagine myself on the boat touring Scandinavia (just hopefully with less drama!).     I loved the twists and was caught off guard at the end because I didn't see it coming.  This is definitely an author to add to my Must Read list.
