Solid mystery book. It gives Glass Onion. Had me guessing the whole time.

I didn’t realize this book was part of a series and I am not familiar with the characters. Also, the writing seems like it would appeal to someone that’s older than me.

I have interrupted this book to read others, but have been plugging away to finish this. While the author has some clever bits in this book, her wordiness, repetition, and awkward references to other mystery books and characters are distracting. With good editing, this book could be a very engaging story.

Carolyn Hart hearkens back to Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Soldiers" and sets this mystery on an island with people invited under false pretenses. This time, everyone there was connected to Jeremiah Addison who died a year ago. His death was not accidental but very few people know that. One of them is Britt Barlow, Jeremiah's sister-in-law. When he died, his wife inherited. She, at the time, was slowly dying of cancer and passed soon after. The island passed to Britt.
Now the killing has started again and the escape plan (a private yacht) was taken by a drug-smuggling caretaker.
The ending came out of left field which is odd since Hart is usually more fairly clued than that. There were way too many characters and it was hard to keep track of who was who.
