I was able to guess half of the ending before the reveal but the rest was a surprise. Overall excellent read and highly recommend for anyone who loves the tangle of a well-plotted mystery!

The explanation is not farfetched and seems reasonable, but I am not completely satisfied with the ending.
Also, what happenes with the other passengers on the island? Do they sail to Amsterdam afterwards?
And I'm definitely not a fan of Sara's solution. I liked neither of the options, but don't have any better on my mind. Vigilante justice is not the right way. Creesjie and Sammy/Hugo shouldn't go without punishment.
I would be interested in the more horror endings Stuart Turton mentioned in the interview at the end of the audiobook.

set in the medieval era, there is a brief scene of sara having to fulfill her "obligations" with her abusive husband and multiple threats of assault leading up to a character suggesting they, the men, use the women of the ship as they wish, willing or not.aguattery's review against another edition
