4.0

This was a good Stuart Turton book. I love that he sets his murder mysteries in different genres with a twist. I think I liked this one better than The Devil and the Dark Water (it was the ending that I didn't love with that one), and I like it less than 7 1/2 Deaths. 

It took me a while to get a few of the characters straight, which made it a little harder to get into. I also would have liked a little more character development. I really wanted to feel for these characters. 

I did guess some twists, for the first time ever with one of his books! I don't usually guess any of his twists.

Overall, it's a good sci-fi, end-of-the-world mystery, and worth a go. I really want to rate one of his a 5 star again though.
