My Thoughts: It was okay. Nothing special, but not bad either. I'm not normally a big thriller reader (I'm trying to get more into them tho) so I don't have a lot to compare it to but I felt like the killer was pretty obvious from the start. Like I guessed it within the first 10-15% and I never felt like it could be anyone else so the "big reveal" had me like "oh...okay then". If you're okay with predictable plot twists tho, it wasn't bad aside from that. I liked the setting and atmosphere a lot. But then again, you can just read And Then There Were None if you want the "group of suspects lured to a hotel/lodge and then stormed in" trope
