A contrived plot, little character development, no sense of place or local colour. A shock read with plenty of gore and horror. ( ) I actually liked the characters from this second book in the series a little better. I still love that Giles is consistently involved in each story. I also liked the setting of the island in its off season because it gave a better sense of the characters being trapped and helped to heighten the tension of the storyline. I love how the deaths are still just as complicated and unique but I felt the deaths in the book were more targeted to each victim than in the last book. As an avid CSI, Forensic Files, true-crime reader I love the reveals of how each murder is carried out and how the whole story wraps up in the end. My only problem with these stories is it very easy to determine who the killer is early on in the stories and how the killer seems almost too “all-knowing”. There is little or no explanation for how the killer is able to pull these deaths off without any witnesses especially on a small island. Side Note: So apparently there was a reality television show based on the books that I didn’t even know about. I’m guessing that because it didn’t succeed we won’t get any more stories which is too bad because I really enjoy this little mystery series. Classic mystery setup (a la Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians) but without the satisfaction of finding out the reason behind the killings. I listened to this in unabridged audio, read by Gildart Jackson, who did a great job distinguishing multiple voices of both genders without sounding silly. Even more implausible than the first in this series, as the incredibly-unfortunate butler is hired again to oversee carnage in a new location. I wouldn't like to see his resume. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A grand mansion. An elegant dinner party. One grisly murder after another. When guests arrive at the manor, they expect a lavish retreat, but what was supposed to be a promising week soon turns into a horrific nightmare when they discover that a killer is among them. As the guests are picked off one by one, the killer toys with the remaining guests by leaving riddles, inviting them to use forensic science to solve the crimes. The party soon dwindles until there are only three remaining guests: the winner, the loser, and the killer. It's a true survival of the fittest as they scramble to find the killer first before it's too late. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
