My first Ruth Ware book and I'll be sure to read more. I found the little clues and motives fun to work through in this relatively closed door murder mystery. Well done, with reveals throughout. Leonora wasn't my favourite protagonist ever, I hope to see better protagonist development in other of her books, but still generally enjoyed the story. Amnesia and flashbacks are always a bit frustrating but I get that the trope was necessary.

Another great Ruth Ware mystery. Yes, they are formulaic but I love the formula so I don't care. This has got me out of a reading slump.

Quick, easy read. Fun, but predictable. The ending seemed a little too easy.
