More modern than the usual mysteries I read but not ctv/mobile phones modern. Although the setting didn’t really count for that much since it was on a remote island. Which felt a bit trite, especially considering I’m not sure how the murderers were expecting to get away/cover up everything.
I was pretty ok with Verity being a widow, but I was also ok with that being a fake-out. It will make for a very different kind of relationship given the trauma both have been through.
The mystery was interesting enough. A case of where the events leading up to the murders was more intriguing than whodunnit.
It’s cool that Verity is in the secret service. I’m sure that aspect of her character will get put to good use in future books.
