"A very modern Agatha Christie for the new roaring 20s...secrets and lies at every turn." (Sarah Pinborough)

I didn't hate this one, but it felt far more like a whodunit than the thriller I thought it would be. The characters were likable, for the most part, although one or two got a bit annoying and self righteous by the end, but the narrators were all excellent in playing them. The myriad twists that unfolded in the final few hours weren't as exciting and unpredictable as I would have hoped, and one was even a bit of a stretch, but the final twist was actually a good one and caught me of guard. The story felt like it was a little rushed to finish from that point though, barely tying off each person's ending.

More of a drama than a thriller
