Read by Imogen Church.
I liked It. I didn't love it. I think I went into it with different expectations considering it was compared to Agatha Christie's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Yes, there is an island and, yes, people are being picked off, but it doesn't have the same big bad energy of someone with specific machinations pulling the strings. Lyla is a fine vehicle for the story to be told but I never really felt connected to her beyond that. Ware has a good premise. I would have liked to have seen more from behind the scenes; I don't know that it would have been possible without giving the game away but the ending felt like a bit of an info dump and there was no way the reader could have predicted it. All in all, though, it was a relatively easy read and kept me entertained.
4/5
