A great thriller who dunnit, which gave me And Then There Were None vibes. This was a really enjoyable and easy read!
I did find it a bit predictable however, and I managed to guess most of the links between the people on the island before they happened. The reason for the half star though is that I honestly didn’t know who the murderer was until the last few pages, I think Foley did a fantastic job at that as well as picking up the pace.
