Not my favorite from Ruth Ware. I think this is her first, so that makes sense. It was definitely a page-turner, but none of the characters were compelling. 

This book should be renamed "An extended explanation of Chekov's gun"

Honestly absolutely nothing was shocking and it was painfully obvious. With that being said I did enjoy this and like the atmosphere. It was interesting to see the relationship dynamics. I loved Nina she was honestly my favorite part of this book. It’s your newer to thrillers I would recommend this, but if your not and are looking for a big plot twist and not just a good time I wouldn’t recommend this.

I've read 2 other books by the author and loved them, but this one wasn't her best. I didn't like any characters, and Nora was not the smartest cookie. It was pretty easy to figure out the who/why of the mystery early on.

Entertaining, if a bit predictable. The lead feels willfully ignorant. 2.75 ✰
