RATING: 3 STARS 2017; Soho Crime/Soho Press ​​(Review Not on Blog) I requested this book as it had the the tagline "homage to Agatha Christie" and I am a big fan of classic or classic-esque mysteries. Maybe I was too excited at the prospect and it just fell short of those expectations. I listened to this one on audio and raised the star level by one. The production was done really well - it felt like a play and i really enjoyed the start of the novel - the way the plot was set up. Then I lost a bit of interest in which character lived or died (which is so mean to say, I know). And, the end just made me bring it down a star, so thank gawd I listened to it on audio. I think had I read this novel, I would have given up on it or felt like the ending wasted my reading time. For me it was the style and the twists seemed more important than the story...but I was not a fan of Gone Girl so if you enjoyed that book you may like this one. ***I received an eARC from EDELWEISS***
