This was a fun time, and there were twists that I didn't expect, so it did everything it intended to do. Sometimes the jumping back and forth in time can feel a little gimmicky.

Tämä kirja on vaan niin huono. Ei sitä oikein muuksi voi kuvata. Siinä on ainekset hyvään tarinaan, mutta toteutus on aivan onneton. Uskoisin että samasta ideasta joku parempi kirjailija olisi saanut erittäin hyvän kirjan aikaiseksi.

This was really well done. I did not see the twist coming though I probably should have.. couldn’t put this down towards the end and already want to read more! This was different from the Guest List and the Paris Apartment in how closely entangled everyone was before the fateful trip / event but I appreciated the same style of switching timelines and POVs.. all together makes for a v interesting story!

I feel like there were too many characters, so you didn't develop enough attachment to them and many of them didn't really have a role in the plot. I also felt like the back and forward between the end and beginning gave too much away too early and affected the pacing. It didn't really build-up in the same way other thrillers do and the ending felt rushed and by that point, predictable, as it had been hinted at since page 1. I loved the setting and found the writing addictive though.

There's an addictive quality to Lucy Foley's thrillers, and this one was no exception. Somehow I hated the characters while simultaneously feeling sorry for them - especially Miranda. Although I started the book hoping she was the one who died, I ended it wishing that she had had the chance to build a new life for herself. I also appreciated how neatly the various storylines tied together, it made for a really satisfying resolution.
