3.8 ⭐️ although i only really listened to the audiobook with the casual flipping through the ebook i really enjoyed doing it this way with listen to all the different povs and seeing how you as a ‘viewer’ would experience the different settings. I would say throughout the book i had many different people who i was convinced were the killer but the plot twist was not what i as expecting tho. I would definitely recommend this book to the people that love a murder mystery and love to solve it while reading at the same time :)

I saw that this book was described as 'Agatha Christie meets Cluedo' both things that excite me enormously, but it had a strong whiff of An Inspector Calls about it as well.

It was gripping once I was able to sit down and concentrate on it properly.

I thought the dual plots of Luke as a character and the whodunit and then the group dynamic as well worked very well and kept the pacing up.

Some of the elements didn't work that well as an ebook, I wanted to be able to flick back and forth to look back at bits of evidence and characters etc, and some bits were quite small. But that is a minor usage comment. The plot was very enjoyable and unique.

I read this as a Netgalley ARC.

It had more plot twists than I could count. A page-turner for sure. At times messy, but still a fun read.
