I don’t usually choose this type of book to read but was particularly drawn to it by the excellent cover. This was a great story based on a 10 year reunion where things go very badly wrong right from the start. I did find it difficult to keep up with the numerous characters arriving at the start but a story such as this needs a decent sized cast list and I’m not sure how else you would deal with it. Fortunately Pencil skilfully gives us detailed descriptions of each character, their backstory and personality traits so it’s soon easy to keep up with who is who. The twist at the end is great and I really did not see it coming. I do have to say though that this book does need a proofread, I know this doesn’t bother some people but it bothers me and it can be easily corrected. Otherwise I enjoyed the way Pencil kept the story moving along and there was certainly plenty of mystery.
