If you enjoy murder mysteries in the Agatha Christie style, or if you like stories of Hollywood, then you may enjoy this book. 9 elite people, all connected to a famous Hollywood movie producer come together one night for a dinner party. Only 8 leave alive the next morning.
There is one other player in the book that I actually found the most interesting; Persephone the octopus.
I have read the occasional murder mystery but it’s not my typical genre of choice. This one did keep me entertained throughout, mostly due to the Hollywood secrets and/or Persephone.
Every so often, I wasn’t quite sure what the timeline was as the book jumped back and forth between the past and present. That could have been due to the fact that I was reading a galley, so maybe my copy didn’t have headers or proper breaks. That being said, it wasn’t too distracting.
The story did end up being much darker than I expected. I really hated the victim the more we find out about him.
*Thanks to Ballantine Books/Random House and NetGalley for the advance copy.*
