There's a character who's racist as fuck and would k!ll a child if it came down to it, but they'd draw the line at throwing out a woman bc she got pregnant unwed which is kind of a wild way to have morals

The beginning was slightly slow since we are first introduced to the characters, but it quickly becomes apparent that there is a killer in their midsts. I will admit that I (accidentally) spoiled myself and I did not see that twist coming. However, it was a brilliant way to explain how to find the identity of the killer.
The epilogue of the novel was especially gripping and it was such a romantic way to explain the murders on Indian Island.

I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting.
I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with.
It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.
