Fast-paced mystery--but the kind that uses a lot of foreshadowing (if that kind of thing bothers you). I had a wonderful time reading it.

2.0

This one takes a bit of grace with reality and to get through it you really do need to suspend your disbelief but it was an interesting premise that just seems to fizzle our halfway through. 

Ned Groom is a millionaire that thrives off of hosting the worlds biggest stars at his resorts. Told from multiple perspectives the reader begins to unravel the tragedies that occurred during the weekend of Ned’s newest venture, island home’s launch. 

This thriller has lots of characters and lots of twists, at times too many. I really enjoyed this one at first, it was fast paced with interesting characters, and a fun premise but halfway through the twists started getting gratuitous and the story just got dull. I didn’t really care for any of the characters by the end and everything took way too long to happen. 

I read a lot of thrillers and this wasn’t the worst one I’ve read but it didn’t really do anything for me either to make it stand out.
