I love all the murder mysteries that are coming out at the moment. It's a great chance to test myself. In this case, I guessed some twists, but not others. I won't discuss any of them here, of course.
The back and forth time frame is a clever way to do this kind of story, revealing just what we need to know just as we need to know it and keeping developments front and centre even months after they happened in story. Amber doesn't catch on to the suspicious friend until long after we have, which is annoying but par for the course in this kind of novel. All the characters are drawn very well for the length of time we have to get to know them.
I really enjoyed this one, and I'd love to know what happened after it ended, since there was a wee bit of a cliffhanger on it!
Welcome to dinner, and again, congratulations on being selected. Now you must do the selecting.
What do the queen bee, star athlete, valedictorian, stoner, loner, and music geek all have in common? They were all invited to a scholarship dinner, only to discover it’s a trap. Someone has locked them into a room with a bomb, a syringe filled with poison, and a note saying they have an hour to pick someone to kill … or else everyone dies.
Amber Prescott is determined to get her classmates and herself out of the room alive, but that might be easier said than done. No one knows how they’re all connected or who would want them dead. As they retrace the events over the past year that might have triggered their captor’s ultimatum, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding something. And with the clock ticking down, confusion turns into fear, and fear morphs into panic as they race to answer the biggest question: Who will they choose to die?
