Suspense galore. I enjoyed it a lot. It differs from most in this genre because there isn't one good guy being the hero and saving everyone. This is one story, but also several small stories of all the characters on the list.

DNF. Got to 47% and it was just soooo boring and soooo drawn out. I really wanted to love it. But way too slow

This is very much a modern "And Then There Were None". It starts without giving away the pastiche, but by the end it's full blown homage.
That's not too say that this takes place over a weekend, or that the characters are all isolated, but it ultimately has the same structure.
Very good book, good use of modern style for a classic story.

Story begins with a list. Nine names sent out to nine addresses. Seems a bit random but then one of them, an FBI agent decides to look into it. But when people on the list end up mysteriously dying, then begins a race against time, to save the victims and find out the "why" behind this systematic killing.

Compelling read, taut narrative. If you are a thriller junkie you will love this one!

Actually a 4 1/2 ⭐️
My only beef is that the POV switch ups could of been a little clearer, there were so many characters to keep up with it got a bit confusing. Over all it was a fun read full of suspense and a dope twist at the end.
