This was a very engaging read . I enjoyed it all the way through . I was slightly sad I guessed the twist ( well , one of them anyway. ) I also read a lot of thrillers/ mysteries though. I found the characters while not likable in aspects to be well presented . I could've used more of a character background on some of them. All together though , I definitely recommend . Rated it 4 stars .

If you're wondering how a book whose premise is murder only has moderate murder, the answer is nobody dies onscreen. The misogyny is typical "not like other girls" misogyny but it's so present and mostly directed at one character.jocelyn62013's review against another edition

The story is interesting, and I gotta hand it to the author, I didn’t predict who the killer was.
That said, I wasn’t entirely convinced by the logistics of some of the plot points. At times the island seems large, but at others it’s small and you can see it all from the third floor of a building. The passage of time didn’t feel organic either.
Also, the final 3 pages were just a hot mess. I think she would have been fine without the final “twist”. It was too over the top and the buildup wasn’t there.
All in all, it was a fine book. I was pretty hooked and read it quickly. I don’t think I will be reading any of her other works though any time soon.
