I loved reading this! 4.5 stars It involves a lot of typical murder mystery tropes -- isolated location, group of friends with secrets, lots of unlikeable characters with motives, an unreliable narrator -- but it's done in a way that felt completely unique.
Quick synopsis: A group of rich friends go to a Greek island for vacation, and one of them ends up dead, and any of them could be responsible. But nothing is actually what it seems.
I loved the voice of the narrator, how he breaks the fourth wall, and how he's very up front about his own role in the drama. It gave me Othello vibes, with the multiple twists and attempts to manipulate. The same scene is told from a couple different perspectives, which shows just how many layers there are to the plot (I've seen some complaints about that but I liked it!) I docked a half point because some of the twists were a bit obvious, but I had such a great time reading this!
