I was sucked into the story and it had its grip on me until I listened to the very end.
the writing was phenomenal and I really loved being kept on the edge of my seat for the entire ride (pun somewhat intended).
the characters were difficult to like; Red as the main character seemed to just like go with the flow and not make her wishes and needs known to the others and the rest of them were ranging from just annoying to downright abusive.
though according to Red he never acted that way prior to the RV situation. either he was a great manipulator or some switch flipped in this situation and his true colors came out.
also: who was the second person to vote Red to get out of the RV?
the ending was 50 % tied in a too nice bow and the other 50 % were just left to the reader's imagination more or less.

I think the pacing of the second part of the book was much better than the beginning. This took a very long time to clear its throat, metaphorically speaking, and I was quite bored with everything by the time things really started to get spicy.
That said, the mystery was very well done, and the ambiguous ending was quite good to my mind.
For those worried about Red's apparent rambling thoughts, I'd likely say she's got ADHD. It sounds like it, with the fixations and the lack of object permanence. Just go in with an open mind and a bit of kindness.
