The Finalist – Joan Long

“Fun, Gripping, Who-Dunnit”

💜💜💜💜

I’m a sucker for a good who-dunnit, and this one ticked the box for me! Good setting, great premise to build up the group of strangers in the standard ‘can you guess’ type storyline. Characters were well written, would have loved there to be a few more people getting picked off, or a few more red herrings to throw you off the scent (tho it wasn’t predictable anyway!) – but it keeps you gripped throughout. The latter half of the story goes a bit left-field & repetitive, almost as if the author wasn’t quite sure what to do with the great set up that had been outlined previous, but the accusation was unexpected, and it did go a different way than I had been predicting so for that, I was glad of the uniqueness!
