This one took me a little while to read as I got sidetracked starting a reading journal and filling it in for my books this year. I however love this book, I had listened to the audiobook before but wanted to give it another read.  The tenseness, and isolation of the island is very well written. You have no idea who dies until two thirds of the way through the book, and who did it isn’t apparent until the very end of the book. The location that this is set also makes is all the more spooky, it is incredibly written. This is such a good whodunnit murder mystery that is tense whilst being really easy to read.
