2.5 rounded up
Honestly quite predictable. A lot of plot points borrowed from Agatha Christie novels but executed badly. Hated the “convenient” element that lead to the twist
In the beginning I was really captivated by the idea that a murder would be committed on an island and that you as a reader would tag along with the search for the killer. This however didn't happen, at all. Really eerie plot twist. Didn't like it.
How did this book have so many 5 star reviews? The plot was slooooow, the characters were unlikeable and I didn't even want to finish it. I was hoping for something redeeming toward the end and it never got there.
Very disappointing.
The thing I loved the most about this is how the story was told. We have an admittedly unreliable narrator who leaves out important information as he tells us about the events that unfolded on a private Greek island. He tells the same story a few times, and each time he interjects some more of the truth and some backstory as to how they all ended up on the island.
I found the narrator very interesting, and I enjoyed being in his head and hearing his thoughts. There is a lot of character analysis since he loves to analyze why people might do the things that they do. I liked the psychology of it, and I found both the narrator's voice and the plot very engaging.
Thanks to Netgalley and Celadon Books for providing me with an early copy in exchange for a review!
