Wow. This would be 4.5 stars if there were half stars.

Ruth Ware can weave a suspenseful story that leaves you guessing right up to the end.

I found this story line to start out much slower and less suspenseful than In a dark, dark wood. It took quite a while for the story to build and to discover the peril that was the main story. This left me frustrated.

About halfway through the book I thought I had figured it out, at least the "who", but not the "why". Well, in what seems to be her way, Ruth Ware proved me wrong. It had only learned a portion of it. She kept the truth well hidden. And even when the real "who" was revealed, there is still a sizeable portion of the book left. I knew at this point there was more to come.

If you were like me and wanted to bail on this story because of the lack of suspense, don't. It'll get there.
