5.0

wow, so good. i loved the familiarity of each of the narrators, like they were ranting to me about their histories and issues. it had great pacing and writing and a riveting story, had me guessing at every turn but still provided a dramatic ending. i loved how the lodge employees were treated as entirely human and noteworthy despite being less glamorous than the guests. everyone is a grotesque character and it was fascinating to see them alternate between unraveling spectacularly and finding some kind of redemption.

This book is really about the pain of outgrowing friends. I really didn't like how the narration broke the 4th wall- what was the point of speaking directly to the reader?

amarchetta's review against another edition

dark mysterious tense

2.0

I really disliked the author’s voice. The writing was too slangy for me. I do always like a good twist, but I actually predicted it (which I haven’t done in all my Agatha Christie reading). Disappointed by this one because I enjoyed her newer novel
