I saw the twist at the very end of the book coming, but not who the killer was or exactly why he was killing people.
The killer's life's not fair, woe is me, I'm a rich cis het white guy routine was annoying and I didn't feel bad for him. I mean people die and sometimes it's someone's fault and sometimes it's not, but retribution on the people isn't what we need.
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
For this big of an author, I think they should have gotten different narrators for each person, even if it's told in the 3rd person.

What I really didn’t like was the use of the n-word (with a hard R too!) I had to look it up and the author and narrator are white. It made me really uncomfortable hearing the words being said. I know that the characters who say the word are black but why did the author even include that? There was absolutely NO reason in my opinion? The character didn’t even play a big role in the story? His sole role was to bring up Agatha Christie’s book and make the connection between this novel and And Then There Were None, like, “haha, see what I did there?” I see and I hate it.
I didn’t really mind the motive. I’ve never understood killers so them having a stupid/silly motive clocks to me. And I actually liked
Also, I was HAPPY when one of the characters died so I had that going for me.
I didn’t understand why
Idk overall it was ok but I hate when racist language is included. Especially if there was NO REASON TO.

I don’t know how to tag this but just… disgusting character inner monologues? It’s far from the worst that’s out there but I was glad that person diedj_squaredd's review against another edition
