Great island murder mystery!  I really liked how there was a “fourth wall break” in this one.  The narrator speaks directly to the reader, and it felt like I built a relationship with him.  The story took so many different turns I felt like I was on a tilt-a-whirl!  I had to go back and reread the last few chapters to make sure I didn’t miss anything because I sped through it to see what was going to happen.
