Vibes of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Interesting mystery and characters. The first half.of the book I was a bit frustrated as the main characters past is referenced a lot but details are not revealed. The second half.of the book some of those details are revealed and I could not put the book down.

Slow start, but the middle and end TOTALLY made up for it. Awesome mystery/thriller and great pick, @HappilyEverKrafter 😁 This is my last #LMPBC book - I‘ve SO enjoyed doing this with y‘all! @robinb @suvata

I was looking to start a detective series but this won‘t be it.

I enjoyed this one! It was twisty and clever. I won‘t leave a full review yet because I don‘t want to spoil anything for my #LMPBC #GroupG friends. 😊💕

No pics, but I received my next #LMPBC in the mail today (tagged above), and I also mailed out my #LMPBC book (A Spy in the House).

I enjoyed this! A "locked room" mystery in which the police are called to an island during a storm to investigate a missing family member- and all the other family members are suspects. Shana Merchant tries to solve this case while dealing with her traumatic past as an NYPD detective. Loved the setting- it definitely added to the tension of the story. Looking forward to the next book in the series! 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much @Sace for the card and this great bookmark! Can‘t wait to start using it when I begin my #LMPBC #Round10 #GroupG book this weekend! 😊

I'm fairly new to the locked-room type of mystery...and it ultimately makes me think of the game Clue...this story really reminded me of playing that game as a kid. Except these people are family. Plenty of secrets, lies, and betrayals in this family drama...also a promising start to a new series.

I wasn‘t sure about this but I‘m glad I stuck with it. Picked it up for its Agatha Christie ‘And Then There We‘re None‘ vibes. Atmospheric and full of unlikeable characters this was a fun whodunnit. Not sure I bought into the ‘who‘ and ‘why‘ of the ultimate solution but it was fun trying to figure it out alongside the MC. Very quick read and I‘m interested to see what happens to the MC next.

It's a variation of a locked room mystery: An isolated mansion. A private island. A stormy night. A wealthy family has gathered. Shana and Tim, newish partners, are called to investigate. They take a look at the blood soaked bed and think: J isn't missing ... he's dead. With plenty of suspects, this was reminiscent of Agatha Christie. When Shana and Tim are cut off from their team and there's a scream ... the pages practically flip themselves.

I really enjoyed this mystery! A rich family on a secluded island, reminded me a bit of the movie Knives Out, but this was definitely not a comedy. I look forward the the second in the series when it comes out!

The second half of March was weird, like it was for most of us. Though I have over 100 books sitting on my bookshelves waiting to be read, I only read 2 which brings up my total for the month to 8. Usually read 12-14 per month. The last book I read, The Girl in the Spider's Web took me from the 19th to the 30th!! Not because it was a bad book, in fact I really enjoyed it, just had no desire to read.

Time for a murder mystery to take my mind off of the current chaos - hope it's good!

Picture is from my favorite Bookstagram account: Crimebythebook . I loved this book! Thought I had it figured it out. I didn‘t.

Putting my other book on hold because this library-hold came in today. I always feel guilty for making others wait, and this has only one copy at the library... hence why I‘m going to read it first.

The mystery was classic! A group of individuals are on an island where a grisly murder seems to have taken place. Mysteriously, there is no body but plenty of evidence. As the storm rages the fear rises as it becomes clear that there is a killer lurking among them. Once you started peeling back the layers, all the characters on the island seemed to have a motive for murder and I was kept guessing at who was responsible for quite some time.
