Great read!
Great mystery/thriller that’s a quick read with substance. Highly recommend to those who like mysteries!

Decent suspense but weak plot and characters
The writing style, common to many authors today, is like a girl’s diary, which is not appealing and nearly led me to stop reading. Foley can be quite literary with some of her writing, particular setting descriptions, which demonstrates talent. As for the plot, it was somewhat cliche and copied a few classic mysteries, notably Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, without anything especially new or original. Foley paces the story well and creates decent suspense, but the characters are superficial and their actions and motivations contrived and unbelievable. All the male characters are “frat” insiders or outsiders, stuck in their high school personas, while all the females are fixated on similar adolescent feelings of self-image. Despite some decent aspects of this book, the premise, characters, plot, and resolution bordered on silly.

Gripping, a page-turner… Well-written plot. One of the best thrillers I’ve read recently. I give a 5 star, although I have figured it all out before the end… It has nothing do to with ‘And Then There Were None’ by Agatha Christie, however some people were making comparisons, maybe because the murder venue is on an island…and the ones who did were giving a better evaluation to The Guest List… Not true ! “And Then There Were None” is the best thriller ever !
