I listened to this book and that was fun because all the characters are read by different people, and all of them are talented. The murder mystery did truly surprise me with the twist at the end! I didn't think it was going to be who it was. Is it the best written book ever? No, it was a little cringe and rough at times. But was it a fun murder mystery? Yeah! It was like if until dawn didn't have anything supernatural happening in it. I love a "trapped in one place" sort of drama.

A real nice sense of tension was built. The trickle feeding of information to the reader was a bit heavy handed (ex: one POV referring to the victim exclusively as 'the guest' to obfuscate who died), but the slow characterization build worked well. Less impressed by the build of the myster itself - lots of mood, little in the way of clues.

Honestly annoying that the flaws and conflicts between the characters wasn't the spark of the crime. It doesn't count as red herrings if Everything is a red herring and the real enemy was communism personality disorders all along

Gostei muito mais de acompanhar a linha temporal de 2 de janeiro narrada pela Heather porque eu tal como ela estava a tentar perceber quem seria o culpado, no entanto não gostei nada de só ficar a saber qual das hóspedes tinha desaparecido para poder formar teorias mais sólidas de quem era o culpado. 
Cheguei à conclusão de que este grupo de amigos é, em geral, completamente louco. E as minhas personagens favoritas foram a Heather e o Doug.
