I am more of a locked room mystery type of gal. I love the claustrophobic atmosphere, suspicion, and danger that kind of mystery brings to the table. So of course I was disappointed that the entire book didn’t stay at the fancy Swiss hotel — instead we only get a night and two days there (I think). It seems to me that the last 4 or so books by Ruth Ware have leaned more into the crime/thriller/someone-on-the-run type of mystery lately. Which others may find thrilling but they are not my cup of tea, leaving me wishing for her older books. I get she probably wanted to do something different with this book than the first one in the series… I just found it to be a bit lackluster. I thought the book was a tad too predictable, which made the middle drag. The ending was also disappointing and there were a few questions that were left unanswered. Not in the ambiguous way either, but in the author-forgot-she-included-this-to-the-story way. If this is the new direction Ruth Ware wants to go, that’s fine. I just don’t think I’ll be quite as eager to pick up any of her new books.
