This mystery is super good. The cast of characters is diverse in personality and all have a reason for why they could have committed a murder. I love that the murder itself happens at the very end of the book instead of at the beginning as it really kept me guessing when it would happen as there were multiple opportunities to do so. The real way in which the character guys was completely unexpected; I didn't see it coming and it left my jaw dropped which told me how good the twist was. The ending is extremely satisfying, which is right in line with Lucy Foley's amazing writing ability.
