Not over-the-top ridiculous and kept me guessing until the end. Holahan walked the fine line of making characters understandable and sometimes likeable, while giving everyone valid motives for murder. I'll definitely be reading more of her books in the future.

I was a little concerned at first since the first chapter was very basic for my knowledge level, however once it got into the creatures, I learned a lot. I particularly liked the emphasis on tracing how the folklore changed over time. I would have liked to see more creatures included, but that's a minor complaint.

A decent enough mystery/thriller. I would have liked it if we'd been able to spend more time on the mystery of who is telling the truth and what is going on with the other guests. Personally I felt it was a bit over the top once the titular mystery was revealed. That being said, I did enjoy it.

Equal parts hilarious and infuriating. 5 stars.
