Starts off well, but too many (for me) POV and red herrings and an unsatisfying ending. Also started to get bored

 I really struggled with this. On paper it should have been right up my street - a locked room mystery set on a lighthouse, but it just didn't land, I came close to a DNF. I found it hard to keep track of the multiple POVs and who was married to who or doing what with whom, and I realised about halfway through that I didn't care about most of them. Maybe it was the writing style.
