Description

I feel like Peter Swanson really outdid himself with this one. It's thoroughly entertaining and a marvelous homage to one of the most famous mysteries of all time. When the first person dies, it’s not certain that it wasn't an accident. However the second person was most definitely murdered and the FBI and police begin asking questions. Then they take notice. The chapters were really short which helped to keep the pace up! I loved the nods to popular culture and books! Even though I adore Agatha Christie, I haven’t actually read And Then There Were None yet, but I have now been inspired to grab it from my tbr pile as soon as possible! I did find things slowed for me at the end, but I really enjoyed one final twist that I just did not see coming. I felt this was a very inventive and enticing book, I can’t wait to read more by this author.

As more of the people on the list begin to be murdered, it soon becomes clear that everyone is in danger, but not everyone on the kill list can be identified. The remaining people are offered police protection, although that does not prevent more deaths. The list has a diverse range of individuals, of different ages, working in numerous professions, including an oncology nurse, a wannabe actor, a college professor, and a musician, a singer-songwriter. We are given an intriguing glimpse into their characters, their lives, marriages, families, professions, and relationships, right up to the point of their demise. Two of them strike up a significant relationship because they are on the list, their feelings lent an urgency and growing passion with the shadow of death hanging over them. For what reason would anyone want this group of strangers dead? but i suppose we can write off all the flawed logic as ████, right? what a tepid end to a pretty hooky book. His ninth and most recent novel, The Kind Worth Saving, a sequel to The Kind Worth Killing, was released in March 2023. [2]

A frightening pattern is emerging, but what do these nine people have in common? Could there be some dark secret that binds them all together? Or is this the work of a murderous madman? As the mysterious sender stalks these nine strangers, they find themselves constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering who will be crossed off next…. Thank you to William Morrow and Scene of the Crime for a widget of the ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Expected Publication Date: 3/15/22. Sam continues to work the case locally-he cannot help but notice the similarities between this case and the Classic Agatha Christie novel, “And, then there were None”. Ten strangers, who have never met, brought together because they have all been targeted for death.

The plot progression was dull and disjointed. There was barely any active investigation, we were teased briefly but it was so insubstantial it did not pique my interest whatsoever. Instead we jump all over the place to different POVs and meander through their mundane lives. In between the deaths it felt like absolutely nothing was progressing.

Nine names. Nine random people receive a sheet of paper - a list with just nine names on it - nothing else, no clue as to what the list signifies. None of the nine know the other names on the list, some throw it in the trash, others just dismiss it as some kind of joke.
