Just wasn't for me
Points for creativity, but ultimately I didn't really enjoy the experience of reading this book. There was a lot going on, and I felt lost almost the whole time, and when you finally learn what's going on it just wasn't worth the lead up.
Basically...a woman is found murdered, and another woman has to figure out who murdered her, or everyone on the island will get killed by a poison gas. The twist is that all their memories have been wiped. There's a whole lot more going on the background, but it felt like it was just filler to set up a murder mystery that's based entirely on evidence and no memories or witnesses.
I was not a fan of Evelyn Hardcastle, but I REALLY tried to give this a chance. But I honestly felt like I struggled through it. It felt long and at times it was repetitive, going over the same basic suspects over and over again. But then at times it would skip ahead several hours and I would be totally lost.
As one final point, the characters all seemed somewhat one-dimensional (ultimately that made sense for some but not all)
I went with 3 stars because it was completely unique and I never would have predicted where it was going. But it sadly wasn't for me.
