People to Follow by Olivia Worley

4.0

People to Follow is a locked room mystery involving ten content creators (influencers) who get invited to a remote island to star in a reality show. What starts as an exciting getaway soon devolves into a deadly game of cat and mouse. It becomes a game that could end each of their careers for good.

The plot unfolds through multiple points of view. I seem to think, however, that the better delivery for this novel would have been through a single point of view due to the novel’s theme. I got lost several times and it became a little frustrating to constantly refer to the table of contents to determine whose point of view I was reading.

The characters were not distinguishable from one another. They all seemed to have the same personality regardless of their gender. Perhaps it was this lack of character development that was the root cause of me losing my way in the novel.

There were a number of plot twists which made for a suspenseful whodunit. Despite the lack of character development, it was the plot twists that kept me moving forward until the surprising finale. Four stars.

I received a DRC from St. Martin’s Press & Wednesday Books through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
