A scrummy murder mystery that takes the reader from a college campus in America to the resorts of Sicily. The complex characters, riveting plot and beautiful cover make for an interesting novel. I adored the Agatha Christie premise and I was immediately hooked when the main character was signed up for a Christie college course! However, even though this was a fascinating plot line, it didn't go anywhere. The main character does all this research on Christie to learn nothing. She does learn a few things, but nothing important to the plot. She goes on a wild goose chase trying to solve the mystery of her lover's death and how her favorite professor is involved in it. Ultimately I was disappointed with the anti-climatic conclusion.



The book had a heavy build up that went nowhere. This story had such promise but it went downhill the moment the action moved away from the school. Plus, Lorna's ending in particular was so strange! It was unfulfilling and boring. I spent all this time getting attached to these characters and invested in their lives for the story to go nowhere. The final chapter was just the main character's inner monologue as she stood in water. If you're someone who enjoyed "Gone Girl" and Agatha Christie's work and the tv show "How to Get Away with Murder," then this is the perfect read for you. Just be prepared for the ending to surprise you.
