challenging
dark
reflective
tense
slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
3.0
A private island off the coast of Greece…
Seven people on the island.
Actors, friends, lovers, staff…
And then murder?
I have seen some pretty mediocre feelings being had over this book, and yet I still went into it with high hopes. I hate to say, but despite wanting to love it, it left me feeling pretty meh overall. I couldn’t get into the storytelling style, which is one of the characters talking and narrating directly to you. And sadly I never felt fully invested in the whole why or who or what. Ya know?
Bummer!
