What fans say

: japee
"I rate this novel 9/10! This is like the best novel by Dame Agatha Christie! Everything is awesome! I love the characters, settings and atmosphere. Almost all of the characters are unhappy, and the setting is a sad and lonely place where a killer is lurking. I love all the scenes, some scenes were surprising and thrilling. The ending is so awesome! "
