Even though it kept me on my toes, I see myself rereading this book so I can enjoy it more throughly from now understanding all the character switches.

I'm not a big murder mystery person, but this book was recommend to me, so I thought I'd give it a try. Cool concept overall, easy read, but definitely not a book to turn me into a mystery reader.

To say this book has twists is an understatement. This was a ride that I didn't want to end. I can understand why some people would DNF early because there are so many characters, and we have no idea what is happening. When the rules were introduced, I think around day three, I was hooked. Mr. Turton got me. I would recommend this one if you enjoy mysteries with many characters and multiple views of the same.
