Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.
This book wasn’t a master piece but I still have a lot of fun with this one.
The characters here weren’t perfect, in fact they were very very far from being perfect. The characters in this book were hard to tell apart. So I didn’t get a lot of those small clues here and there while reading this book which it turns out took a lot out of this book for me.
The writing style here was okay, but from what I read about this book on Goodreads before reading this book I had a lot of expectations for the writing style because Ive read it was very good which it wasn’t. So be warned, dont be fooled by people on the internett.
The plot twist at the end was very good, but because I couldn’t tell the characters I didn’t like it as much if I had better control about who is who in this book.
The plot here reminded me a little bit about “turn of the key” by Ruth Ware which I really like. But the difference between this book and “turn of the key” by Ruth Ware is that “turn of the key” by Ruth Ware does actually have a good plot and good character not like this book.
The plot here was for sure somewhat unique but the way it was presented to us wasn’t as good as it could have been if the author tried a little bit harder.
But I need to give this book one point for making me want to read more books from the author which I will do at some point.
I Give This Book 3 / 5
