I wanted to like this. The idea of a dysfunctional family cut off from the world on a tidal island the night before Halloween deserves better. I was hoping for a different take on And Then There Were None, but this didn't work for me.
I knew the twist was coming and was hoping for something good cause the buildup was okayish. However, the big twist was foreshadowed from the start and felt like an easy way out, so I was disappointed. The little twists and family secrets were predictable. None of the characters were likeable or interesting and the heaviness of what they did was too much for the superficial level of character treatment they got in the novel. It just felt all out of balance with such a heavy topic at heart.
2.5 stars.

I really enjoyed Alice Feeney's early thrillers, but lately, I have been underwhelmed.
I found this one confusing.
Twenty years ago, a baby went missing, and the mother, Clio, felt guilty, since she was suffering from postpartum depression, and had thoughts that she didn't want the child. Her own mother, Edith, is now in a nursing home, but Clio doesn't like the care she receives. When a woman is found murdered in the home, Clio, Patience (an aide), and Edith are all suspects. Frankie, librarian at a prison, is also involved.
The story links all these women in odd ways.

Things have not been going in the marriage of Adam & Amelia Wright for a while when Amelia mysteriously wins a weekend away at a chapel in Scotland. After driving through a snowstorm to the chapel, they arrive to find it locked and dark. They walk around to the back looking for a backdoor and when they get back to the front, the front doors are open. They think that's odd but they still go in the chapel and get ready for their weekend away.

The chapters alternate between Adam and Amelia and letters written to Adam on their anniversaries leading up to this weekend away. Strange things happen during this weekend and their history together comes out through the letters, which was an interesting twist.

I enjoyed the book and didn't see the twist at the end. I try not to spend a lot of time trying to figure things out beforehand and this was a good twist.

This is an ok bit silly book.
Married couple Adam and Amelia head to a remote Scottish location with their dog to try and heal their marriage.
Adam is a screen writer Amelia works for Battersea Dogs home.
Things go wrong, they are being spied on and tricked by a lady called Robin who was Adam's original wife. She is the daughter of Henry Winter the man who wanted Adam to write screenplays based on his book.
Far fetched easy to read.
