Honestly disappointing! And nothing at all like And Then There Were None. All of the plot "twists" are easily guessed and you know exactly who the bad guy is from the beginning. I also have a particular pet peeve for when characters make really dumb decisions and/or overlooked very obvious solutions just to move the plot along (why tf don't they ever try to use the batteries from the cameras?). The "twist" at the end is not a twist at all. And thank character of Lyla has so many inconsistencies as to stretch belief. If you can ignore those things, it was a decently entertaining listen as far as plot and I did like the girl power aspect.
