Thank you to @netgalley, @delacortepress, & the author, @katiecotugno for the opportunity to read this #eARC in exchange for my #honestreview!
The setting: summer break, Martha’s Vineyard. The players: Michael, his childhood friend, Holiday, and his college friends Jasper, and Jasper’s family. The game: Jasper’s sister, Eliza, wakes up the morning after a summer party and discovers family frenemy Greg barely breathing and bloody in the shallow end of the pool. Nearly everyone seemingly has a motive but no one is saying a word. Will Holiday and Michael figure out what really happened to Greg or will their investigation blow up in their face?
I loved this! I enjoy a good, fun, coming of age messy romance and this had this plus a high stakes investigation. Once I was thoroughly pulled into this mystery, I couldn’t put it down. Once I realized it’s a reimagining of Agatha Christie, I enjoyed it that much more (and Holiday’s sudden involvement made a hell of a lot more sense!). It’s a great summer quick read for those who enjoy mystery and waters that get a little muddied.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 4/5
