Vibes of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Interesting mystery and characters. The first half.of the book I was a bit frustrated as the main characters past is referenced a lot but details are not revealed. The second half.of the book some of those details are revealed and I could not put the book down.

CBee @robinb oooo that‘s promising 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3y
HappilyEverKrafter I also loved it and can‘t wait for the next one! 3y
robinb @HappilyEverKrafter 😂😂I‘ve already plowed through it and it was great as well! 👍 3y
robinb Creepy, suspenseful locked-door whodunit focusing on a wealthy family who have gathered on their private island on the Saint Lawrence River. Detectives Shana Merchant and Tim Wellington are called out for a missing person/murder investigation during a nor‘easter. 🔻 (edited) 3y
robinb Shana has recently joined the force after being kidnapped/terrorized by a serial killer in NY.

The writing and plot are excellent. My only complaint is the drama of/number of times Shana becomes lost in her memories...a bit over-the-top maybe. I intend to stick with this series. 4.25/5⭐️

I enjoyed this! A "locked room" mystery in which the police are called to an island during a storm to investigate a missing family member- and all the other family members are suspects. Shana Merchant tries to solve this case while dealing with her traumatic past as an NYPD detective. Loved the setting- it definitely added to the tension of the story. Looking forward to the next book in the series! 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

HappilyEverKrafter @CBee We got some pretty bad storms, but luckily our power was only out for a few minutes. The worst we had was an internet outage for a few hours. You okay too? 3y
CBee @HappilyEverKrafter we‘re good! Our power was out for about 18 hours 😳 but no damage! That wind was scary though! 3y
HappilyEverKrafter @CBee The wind was crazy! I‘m sorry your power was out so long, but I‘m glad everything turned out okay! 3y
CBee @HappilyEverKrafter all‘s well! Could‘ve been much worse! 3y

I'm fairly new to the locked-room type of mystery...and it ultimately makes me think of the game Clue...this story really reminded me of playing that game as a kid. Except these people are family. Plenty of secrets, lies, and betrayals in this family drama...also a promising start to a new series.

I wasn‘t sure about this but I‘m glad I stuck with it. Picked it up for its Agatha Christie ‘And Then There We‘re None‘ vibes. Atmospheric and full of unlikeable characters this was a fun whodunnit. Not sure I bought into the ‘who‘ and ‘why‘ of the ultimate solution but it was fun trying to figure it out alongside the MC. Very quick read and I‘m interested to see what happens to the MC next.

It's a variation of a locked room mystery: An isolated mansion. A private island. A stormy night. A wealthy family has gathered. Shana and Tim, newish partners, are called to investigate. They take a look at the blood soaked bed and think: J isn't missing ... he's dead. With plenty of suspects, this was reminiscent of Agatha Christie. When Shana and Tim are cut off from their team and there's a scream ... the pages practically flip themselves.

I really enjoyed this mystery! A rich family on a secluded island, reminded me a bit of the movie Knives Out, but this was definitely not a comedy. I look forward the the second in the series when it comes out!

batsy Sounds intriguing! And kitty definitely adds to the mysterious mood 😁 4y

The second half of March was weird, like it was for most of us. Though I have over 100 books sitting on my bookshelves waiting to be read, I only read 2 which brings up my total for the month to 8. Usually read 12-14 per month. The last book I read, The Girl in the Spider's Web took me from the 19th to the 30th!! Not because it was a bad book, in fact I really enjoyed it, just had no desire to read.

Time for a murder mystery to take my mind off of the current chaos - hope it's good!

Putting my other book on hold because this library-hold came in today. I always feel guilty for making others wait, and this has only one copy at the library... hence why I‘m going to read it first.

The mystery was classic! A group of individuals are on an island where a grisly murder seems to have taken place. Mysteriously, there is no body but plenty of evidence. As the storm rages the fear rises as it becomes clear that there is a killer lurking among them. Once you started peeling back the layers, all the characters on the island seemed to have a motive for murder and I was kept guessing at who was responsible for quite some time.

Crazeedi Nice review 4y
AmyReadsAlot @Crazeedi thank you 😊 4y
