What a fabulous idea for a book. Perhaps the people I hang out with are a bit more forward-thinking than the characters in the book. From the moment the party attendee turns up dead the book goes off the rails. It seems every character is determined to do the dumbest thing they can imagine. The decisions made are beyond ridiculous and truly make no sense. None of the characters behave as adults – even in a state of shock or a defensive position.
The murderer was a stretch at best and the motive for the murder was over-the-top stupid.
However, if you step away from the overall stupidity of everyone involved and rely very heavily on suspension of disbelief, then it could be a good rainy afternoon read.
I’ve not read anything from Mr. Wilkinson previously and may not again. It was a truly inspired idea and he just did not deliver.
