I love this author but this isn't her best work (the unwelcome guest and envy are my faves). She has a distinctive style of writing and I love it. But this book was disappointing. And I LOVE the whole scenario of a family going on a luxurious holiday and one is murdered so I was expecting a great read. The characters in this felt quite 1 dimensional and their thoughts were repetitive. The 2nd half of the book felt drawn out and I got bored at times. Especially after the holiday was over and there was the funeral and court case. I felt it lost momentum. I just kept reading to find out who did it. And when I did it wasn't a surprise. It just confirmed what I thought.
