This book was so good. It’s not necessarily resort vibes but it is getting away from your troubles trip only to be met with more troubles. Murder mystery in a murder mystery without telling you it’s a murder mystery

this book keeps you guessing until the very end and i was losing my shit when all the layers where peeled. also it's set in an island far away, it's raining, it's dark, there's a storm coming, everyone there hates each other, they all have secrets and someone's dead.

This past week, I went to Cape Cod for vacation. The airbnb we stayed at was filled wall to wall with books of all sorts. Over the door, up the staircases, and in all the rooms, there were books stashed about boat racing, insect catching, antique grandfather clocks, a professional mixers menu from the 50s, and so so many more. Naturally, I couldn’t help myself but take this environment and do with it what I do best - escape into a Christie novel. This time I chose Murder on the Links. An easy to read Poirot mystery with several twists and turns, with a satisfying (if not sort of predictable) ending. After that, I finally dove into my first Camus, The Stranger. I expected this read to require more effort, as many classics so frequently brought up in psychological and philosophical discussions do, but it was such beautifully smooth read. The story was linear, the characters straightforward, and all very easily ingestible. It’s amazing to me such a simple book could have so much to say, but it really does and does it so well.

So my wife took the hint that I've been on a classic mysteries kick recently, with all my Agatha Christie recs, and decided to get me this book which is sort of a modern day "classic mystery". I actually read another book by this author a few months ago, The Guest List, and felt it was solid but a little uninspired and typical. This one, however, felt much more naturally executed. I was questioning every character’s possible motives the whole time, and was left guessing even who the victim was for over half the book. It's a super easy read and a lot of fun.

I do little love notes, like a little short sentence on a tiny paper and hide it somewhere the person might find randomly. Like in their make up bag, in the fridge, under the tab for the Oreo container etc
