New take on Agatha Christie
I loved the setting and feel it was described well, I had a clear perspective of the perils. The writing illicits feelings for all the characters which made the story very readable, I red it over 24 hours. This would make an excellent movie particularly with the lights going out.

I guessed the big plot twists other than the final killer. I think the killers parts could have been better written and/or more prominent. Overall, a good fast paced read that would be great to dip in and out of whilst travelling or whilst on holiday (if we are ever allowed again).

"Well I guess my first one has to be Withnail and I, the 1987 Bruce Robinson classic. You know, the plot is one that would get you laughed out of any Hollywood studio: Two unemployed actors go on a holiday, drinking, to one of their uncle’s cottages for the weekend; but it’s one of the most deeply rich, brilliant, tragicomic tales of male friendship. I actually remember seeing it when I was a kid, and walking out of the theater in London — and by the way, it did not do well at the time it was released; it was a tiny little film — but I remember thinking that I wanted to become a filmmaker after that."
