It's a great concept for a book: a Soho House-like hotel opening on an island where people go missing and murdered. The problem was that I didn't have a chance to care about any of the narrators because of the constantly switching POV. I liked the idea of the alternating narrator, but it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. I really wanted to like it, but I found myself praying for it to be over.
