quick read... a little thriller, a little mystery. partway through i started to guess the connections between everyone as information was revealed through the "before" parts. this is not an intense thriller or mystery by any means, nor is it a book where you're completely invested in the well-being of the characters, but i did enjoy it on audio and wanted to see it through!

I liked the writing style a lot, but I felt like nothing much happened until the last 100 pages. I enjoyed reading about the adventures of the characters exploring this creepy, deserted island, but I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time I was reading. I knew it was a murder mystery, but the build up to the murder was really drawn out. I did like the end and the reasoning behind all the murders. We love a feminist book, even if the strong women might actually end up being villians!

As a re-telling of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (my favorite), I jumped on this title so fast and binged the hell out of it! Cheap thrills, nothing spectacularly unique, emotionally shallow, and yet I enjoyed every second. The twists and turns surprised me and the ending was deeply satisfying.

Started this audiobook on a long walk and continued to listen to it the rest of the day.  Very captivating!

Part of it I was able to correctly guess and the other part I did not see coming. Not the best ending, but also not the worst.
