This one has been on my TBR for a while, so I'm glad it finally came in at the library. I had fun with this one - very Christie reminiscent, with a little bit of Lisa Jewell thrown in for good measure. The concept was fun but with so many characters, it was sometimes hard to keep track of who was who which meant I had no idea who the murderer was when the big reveal came. I did love the vibes of the book and the use of Frances' diary (even though Annie kept "figuring out" things from the diary that were immediately just explained in the diary a few pages later, which felt weird). I don't think I'll read the next book in the series, but I had fun with this one.
