The author really knew how to twist an investigation and I definitely was blindsided until the very last phase of the book/murders
Spoilers below:
I can't believe Ali was there all long, hiding in the closet like a freak but dear god i honestly though Charley would turn out to be the killer and that it would be revealed in the epilogue but honestly not mad. Sam and Audrey made sense I figured out Audrey after the mentionof the drug helping autoimmunediseases and yet Sam still came as a shock was kind of hoping for Karl to also reappearas as a mystery mirder surprise and him and Charley wpuld run off into the sunset but it truly wpuldnt have made sense also we all agree Dasha killed Sam in the end, like the executioner style mention cant have been a coincidence also what tf happened to Kamal after sue disappeared? She wasn't mentioned anywhere unlike Charley and Ali AKA the massacre survivors

YOOOOOOOOOO first things first I finished this in practically one sitting - absolutely could not put it down, super atmospheric whodunnit with twisty psychological wackadoodle red herrings and you think you’ve got it figured out and you mostly do but you DON’T, okay? You don’t.
(FYI: Check the content warnings)
Loved the nods to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None (which I read earlier this year and LOVED), loved how creepy and atmospheric it was, loved the flashbacks.
(All of that being said, there was ONE character that I didn’t really get, a bit out of place with the rest of the story, but whatever, just moving on)
Also, this one might not be everyone’s cup of tea so normally I would have chosen “borrow” rather than “bring” but THIS COVER? Yeah. It’s gotta go on the shelves.
