I have to agree with the previous reviewers and say that this book was a bit of a let down. The beginning started out strong and I bought into the premise- who could have killed this woman when all the suspects are eliminated? The setting of a beautiful resort where the guests don‘t know each other was intriguing. But it dragged on and the reveal was sort of weird. The set up promised more than the ending delivered, I guess.
It started off well & I was hooked by about 3 chapters in. About halfway, the pace dropped & it seemed to take forever to get to what actually happened. I stuck with it as I was invested in knowing how the murder was committed by then.I rate it a solid 3⭐ as I liked the general idea, even if the execution wasn't quite right.
My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, for the opportunity to read an ARC. #NetGalley
Whilst I quite enjoyed this story, at the same time I thought it was a little long winded and somewhat contrived. In fact, it became quite bizarre. There are nods to Agatha Christie and I enjoyed this aspect of it. It just took a long time to get to the grand finale and the plot kept going off at tangents! I don‘t think this is one of Sophie Hannah‘s better books, but it‘s entertaining nevertheless. #Pigeonhole
