Book Synopsis:
SIX COUPLES. ONE LUXURY RESORT. AND THE PERFECT MURDER . . .
You’re on your honeymoon at an exclusive couples-only resort.
You receive a note warning you to ‘Beware of the couple at the table nearest to yours’. At dinner that night, five other couples are present, and none of their tables is any nearer or further away than any of the others. It’s as if someone has set the scene in order to make the warning note meaningless – but why would anyone do that?
You have no idea.
You also don’t know that you’re about to be murdered, or that once you’re dead, all the evidence will suggest that no one there that night could possibly have committed the crime.
So who might be trying to warn you? And who might be about to commit the perfect murder?
My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author so waited until the weekend when I knew I’d have more reading time. I definitely wasn’t disappointed as this was another brilliant, twisty and addictive read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Firstly i thought it was great fun getting to know all the characters and finding out more about their lives. They are definitely an interesting bunch with lots of secrets to hide and I found it very intriguing to discover more about them as the story unfolded. The story is told from multiple points of views which was a little tricky to start with buit I soon got used it.
The murder mystery was a fascinating one that I think Agatha Christie herself would be very proud of it. I started off thinking it was completely implausible but as the story continued and I learned more about everything I began to see it differently. I found it impossible to figure out and kept changing my opinion on who the murder was was which I always enjoy. I often found myself thinking about the book when I was unable to read, trying to figure everything out.
The ending was brilliant! Hugely satisfying and impossible to predict. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.
Huge thanks to Jenny Platt from Hodder for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
