That Ending!!!!

Not only do you get the claustrophobia of an being trapped in an underground bunker full of questionable objects that make excellent murder weapons but also a time limit of rising water and the only solution is to leave someone behind to operate the winch to save everyone else. Quite the psychological problem! I had fun reading this to see why the murderer was attacking, who it was, and if the group could get out in time. This was very plot driven, with the story taking priority over character growth and that was okay. Besides, Shotaro the detective, and Shuichi, the narrator of the tale, the other characters kind of blurred together with their politeness and little projects of their own. That being said, it climaxed wonderfully with the reveal of the murderer and that awesome awful twist that I totally did not expect but applauded for the genius of it. I think that is what made this story so great and I will be remembering it for a long time. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to go down into the Ark with this group and find out their thrilling tale! I am glad I got the chance!
