3.0

The suspense and tension kept me reading this one. A classic who dunnit although the who was a bit underwhelming, but at least not predictable (in my opinion). I enjoyed the multiple characters because it keeps things interesting. I didn’t love any of the characters though, they all seemed a bit annoying as if I was with them in that Inn I would’ve been irritated, but perhaps that also keeps things interesting. Little bit of a twist at the end, separate from the main plot which was fun although I’m not sure how necessary it was. 

Overall 2.5, but rounded to 3 after thinking about it. Quick and easy read if you’re looking for a thriller you can finish in a short time.
