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.

I loved how fast-paced this book was, in true "who-done-it" fashion. The ending was moderately shocking, with something thrown in that felt very out of place to me and not necessary for the suspense. Other than that, I loved getting to know all of the characters and going through this thriller with them in a sense!
