I love a good And Then There Were None type book, where it seems really unknowable who could be to blame. I was stumped until the end, which I really appreciated. There are a solid bit of characters in here, so it does take a tad more focus. But I did think that the characters were all different enough that they were easy to tell apart.

A slow beginning half, but the end really picked up and definitely not as predictable as I thought it would be. Very Agatha Christie.
