Lots of twists, turns and characters. I appreciated getting to know the characters as both college students and adults. I also liked the creepy, atmospheric setting.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy.

I enjoyed this story immensely. As the blurbs say, it's quite reminiscent of And Then There Were None and Clue which I love so I thought this would be a book for me. It definitely was! Five people who used to be roommates at University are all called to the foreboding Wolfheather House under false pretenses to come clean about the death of their sixth roommate in 1995. It was ruled an accident, but these men and women know that it was anything but. They soon find out that they are trapped in the dark and secluded mansion and cannot escape until the truth is revealed. But will they live long enough to tell it?

Once the story gets going, it flows quickly and you find yourself trying to guess who the killer was then and who has brought them all here now. I loved the way it played out and I found the whodunit ending to be realistic and not overly contrived. But the story felt a bit short, and like others have said, more character development would have fleshed it out some and helped forge connections with the characters. There's really not one main protagonist that anchors the story, it's actually diary passages that do that - written by the one responsible for bringing everyone together.

Overall, it was fun and easy read, especially on a dark night with the rain pouring down - perfect atmosphere. This author has found a new fan!

What a great book. Would definitely recommend to it others I no. Great work will look out for this author again

I'm always a sucker for a And Then There Were None-style mystery and this was no exception. As it was, I tore through this book, but I would have finished it a lot faster if I didn't have to do silly things like sleep. Although parts of the book may strain credulity, I can let them go in service of enjoying a twisty mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing's imprint Arcade Crimewise for this review copy.

"When did my life turn into a game of Clue?"

A quote from a character that I sincerely hope makes it into the final cut of this book because Clue is exactly what sprang to mind when I started reading this book. Five friends are lured to a falling down wreck of a home under false pretenses. One is celebrating a promotion, one is there to meet an online lover. The real reason that they are called together? Who killed Callum?

Twenty years ago, while sharing a house together, the sixth member of their group was found dead after a party. The police ruled it accidental but the five friends know the truth. One of them is a murderer and the rest of them played their parts in the discovery and subsequent cover up. Now someone has brought them all together for the purpose of having the truth be brought to light.

The story is told through the alternating perspectives of the five friends and an unknown narrator. You flash back twenty years at times, to where you delve into their histories and discover clues. You learn that the friends were never quite as close as they may seem and that some of them were actually quite nasty. The question remains, which one of them was capable of murder?

The suspect pool dwindles down as the murders start. Secrets are revealed and some are kept almost all the way to the end. The reveal of the identity of the narrator comes as a complete surprise. The last chapter or two do as well.

The book was fast paced and a whodunit that keeps you guessing. The characters are well fleshed out and the plot doesn't get boring. The Clue vibe is present throughout but it just made it that much more enjoyable. The book also asks you to explore in your own mind as to whether you'd be capable to murder another. I'd definitely recommend this for an rainy day, or beach read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Skyhouse Publishing for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
