It reminded me of Thirteen ( Book Review: Thirteen, by Steve Cavanagh ) in this way, but once the murders started being uncovered Elin came into her own and the book begun to pick up the pace rapidly. The main character is carrying a lot of baggage around with her, and that hotel is really pretty creepy reading, so it took a little perseverence to start with. There was a brief lull at the beginning of the book where I struggled to get into it. I did not quite finish it in one sitting – I went to sleep in the middle. So I settled down with a book and a hot drink to enjoy my new adventure. It arrived on Friday, and fortunately I was in that rare mood where a murder mystery sounds like just the thing. But, the whole point of this blog was supposed to be honesty, and to represent the reality of being a book lover. I was a tad embarrassed to admit it to myself, and a little more embarrassed to admit it to you. People, I bought it and then suddenly realised that I hadn’t even read the blurb. It was all over Twitter with everyone raving about how great it was, and one evening when I was feeling vulnerable, looking for some sort of nice little treat, I saw yet another post raving about it. This is a book that I absolutely, undeniable bought because of FOMO – I’m sorry, but I just cannot lie.
