If you haven't read Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (or Ten Little Indians, depending on which edition you have), you may find this is a competently written YA thriller. If you have read And Then There Were None, you may find this is a competently written YA thriller that is a pale imitation of the Christie novel. I had the killer pegged in Chapter 12 with more than 200 pages left to go, and after that those annoying teenagers just didn't seem to die off fast enough. McNeil gets points for being gutsy enough to take on one of Christie's most famous plots, but Christie did it better.
