First of all, this is not a thriller. So don't go into this book expecting anything like that. It's more like cosy mystery and kind of slow because it kicks off around 70% mark and by then it's really rushed.

What I liked about this book are characters. We got 7 POV's (contestans + Betsy) and every single character has distinct personality. Which is amazing! We got backstory for every single contestant and I admit it can be a little bit much but I enjoyed it. My favorite is probably Pradyumna.

Mystery part is not that hard to figure out. I can't say I'm someone who is good at figuring out plot twists. I'm usually off by a mile but somehow I managed to figure out every single mystery and plot twist this book had.
