---

a very fun mystery with a nod — obvious but also mentioned quite literally in the novel — to my favorite Agatha Christie novel, And Then There Were None. Nothing overly special as you don't get o know any character because that's not entirely the point. More focused on the mystery and pay-off of it all, but I enjoyed that each

character + their death was given a moment to stand out.

ultimately not very memorable, but enjoyable if you like mysteries without a ton of depth.
