Great build up and plot in this one, wish the relationships between the characters had been developed a bit more, especially in the flashbacks.

This was a good mystery book, not my favourite Ruth Ware, but an intriguing enough mystery to keep me reading. The twist was something you could have guessed, but not obvious. I think I was hoping for more thriller and ended up more mystery which may have lowered my rating by a little. Overall, enjoyable read

SPOILERS 

Really enjoyed this, kind of reminded me of if we were villains. 

I would have NEVER guessed Hugh was April’s killer until those last few chapters, i was so sure it was going to be Will the whole time up until then, and I love a plot twist so automatically loved this book
