  When nine people get a list of names in the mail, and one of them ends up dead, they're all at risk. But why are they on the list?
    I saw the twist at the very end of the book coming, but not who the killer was or exactly why he was killing people.
   The killer's life's not fair, woe is me, I'm a rich cis het white guy routine was annoying and I didn't feel bad for him. I mean people die and sometimes it's someone's fault and sometimes it's not, but retribution on the people isn't what we need.

Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
    For this big of an author, I think they should have gotten different narrators for each person, even if it's told in the 3rd person. 

Extra ratings: Fluff  -NA    Heartfelt- 4/5   Helpful -NA    Horror -NA    Inspiration -NA    Love aka Romance- 1/5    Mystery -3/5   Predictability -2.5/5    Spice-0.5/5    Suspense -5/5   Tear- 2/5   Thrill - 4/5     Humor-0/5

Felt a bit of an unsatisfying reasoning and reveal, but did keep me guessing. Final ending felt unnecessary. 
Fast paced easy read and clear voices of each person.

There are so many characters, and it's a typical pick them off one by one scheme. Abd the plot twist was so left field can we even call it a plot twist???
