Very Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” vibes. Clever solution and very intriguing plot lines the whole time with multiple possible motives. However, almost every character is really unlike able (partly the point) to the point where I really wasn’t rooting for anyone by the end. Good relatively short mystery with a dramatic reveal.

I’m a big fan of And Then There Were None so the parallels are obvious. However, the translation makes the writing clunky and the characters are hard to keep straight.
