Very well-constructed murder mystery in a fabulous setting. It feels heavily inspired by Agatha Christie, but still a fresh and compelling plot. If you opt for the audiobook, the narrator does an absolutely fantastic job, especially with her portrayals of Liz and Erin.
 
My only real complaint is that it felt like the story felt a bit lacking in depth. The core story is quite strong, but at the end of the day, it didn't seem the author had a lot to say.
