This one was a little hard to follow. I mean, I get the premise - deserted island, murder, mayhem, etc. However, I find it hard to believe that the story played out the way it did. Are rich people really that bored that they have to plan murder retreats on their deserted islands? Why drag your kid into this idiocy also. Are there not better ways to deal with conflicts? You know, like talk to each other?
Well, psychologically, many people are intrigued by mystery and some even love to toy with other's emotions. So, I guess that's why this novel came about. The author does do a good job of keeping you guessing until the very end and adding several plot twists and red herrings. Yet, in the end, I think it fell short in the area of likability for me.
What are your thoughts?
