The premise of all the characters gets having secrets is intriguing and I enjoyed that some secrets were hinted at enough that I could guess them (and feel the rush at being right) and others were obscured enough that the reveals felt thrilling.
The ending is wow, best twist, definitely worth it! So good!

I did find it a bit predictable however, and I managed to guess most of the links between the people on the island before they happened. The reason for the half star though is that I honestly didn’t know who the murderer was until the last few pages, I think Foley did a fantastic job at that as well as picking up the pace.
