The Finalists
by David Bell
A fellowship competition quickly turns deadly? A locked door mystery with no phones or way of escape? Yeah that sounds like my cup of tea.
Except... it kind of wasn't. I think my fundamental issue with this book is that any of the stakes it created were just superfluous. It establishes motives for all of the characters but never follows through. And halfway through I kept thinking to myself "What if this is like One of Us is Lying?"... except worsely executed.
I just felt frustrated at the end with no answers and no consequences. Maybe it's just me.
*Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
