It's a good island mystery that keeps you guessing about the secrets throughout. The book toggles between past tense and current tense, so secrets are unfolded to the reader faster than revealed to the characters. It was interesting and only took me a day to read, but there are better mystery books out there. The eeriness of the island's history is exciting, and I found something to like about all of the characters. Overall, an easier mystery to digest while still eliciting the emotions that a mystery or thriller should.
