I love a good murder mystery and this was a novel with all the classic components, and with the modern twist of present tides. So many people have a motive in this book and the characters are complicated and interesting. I had a rough idea of what was going on, and then I had no idea what was going on, and then the ending was different again! The remote gloomy and Gothic type setting of the novel played up the dangerous and Bleak situation our main character finds herself in. A group of sisters should be best friends, but how does that work if one of them is also a murderer?
