Ten different people invited to an island by their acquaintances arrive only to find out that they were lured here by an unknown host. Everyone has a secret past and unearthing which will have them guilty of a crime. They get murdered one by one for this secret they hold and there is no way to escape death as the island loses contact with the mainland due to a heavy storm. There is increasing tension as each one suspects the other.
With this interesting premise, the novel tries to hold the attention of the readers once the characters are settled. But, the build up to the revelation is slow and takes ample time considering the proceedings need to take place in a closed repetitive atmosphere. A solid climax that unfolds in the epilogue makes up for it and makes this novel a satisfying read.
