I liked the writing style a lot, but I felt like nothing much happened until the last 100 pages. I enjoyed reading about the adventures of the characters exploring this creepy, deserted island, but I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time I was reading. I knew it was a murder mystery, but the build up to the murder was really drawn out. I did like the end and the reasoning behind all the murders. We love a feminist book, even if the strong women might actually end up being villians!
