LOVED THIS BOOK. I can’t wait to read more from this author. I could not put this book down, finishing it in just a couple days which never happens with me. HIGHLY recommend.

personally, thought it was way too long and pretty predictable.

Wow. This is quite possibly my favorite book of Ruth Ware's so far. I finished the book after a total of about 7 hours of reading, at the most. This novel is thrilling, tense, mysterious, and kept me on my toes with its twists and turns. Just when I thought I had figured it all out, the book turned my theories upside down and left me guessing again, right up until the end. Ruth Ware has done it again, weaving an unpredictable tale full of thrills that will get your brain turning.
Another thing I loved about this book was the vividness of the setting. As in her other books, Ruth Ware paints such a clear picture, and her masterful writing of the setting, in this novel particularly, definitely aided in creating the foreboding, mysterious atmosphere of the story.
Excellent read from Ruth Ware. But really, did I expect any less? Highly, highly recommend this book.

Very good! I quite enjoyed this story. I feel like the plot meandered a little bit in the middle, but the ending was well worth it.
