They Did Bad Things: A Thriller by Lauren A. Forry

2.0

Over 20 years ago, six students share an old, rundown house while they attend university. Shortly before the school year ends, one of them will be dead. But when they're all lured under false pretenses to another ramshackle house on an island in Scotland, they're shocked to see each other again. Soon, they find themselves alone and cut off from the outside world with only one directive: confess to which one of them killed their roommate.

Take parts of Clue and parts of And Then There Were None and you'll get They Did Bad Things. The plot twists are many and varied and in the end you won't have any idea who is behind all the trouble, present or past!

I really wanted to like this one, but I felt like it didn't come together really well. The pacing was off and sometimes hard to follow. I don't know that we ever got a satisfactory explanation to the past murder and the solution to the current dealings didn't make a whole lot of sense.
