Review:
This was a pretty enjoyable read and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.
I think the setting of this is really good and it's the kind of mystery where everyone involved are in a confined space (the boat) which reminds me a little of Murder on the Orient Express; you know it has to be one of them. The journey also takes us up the Norwegian coast which for me is obviously kind of cool.
I do think that this is one of those books where the plot is the important part and I don't think the characters were particularly well developed. The main character is extremely similar to other unreliable narrators I've read in similar stories (like in The Girl on the Train). There isn't a lot that makes anyone stand out, they're all a bit typical.
While I was reading this though, I was very entertained even if it is lacking in some areas. It's definitely worth the read if you enjoy mysteries and thrillers.
