And Then There Was The End- "And Then There Were Four" by Nancy Werlin

Antoine Dubois, Saralinda de la Flor, Evangeline Song, Martha McKenyon, and Caleb Colchester Jr have been brought together but they do not understand why until the roof collapses on them. This is just the start of the mysteries in their journey to figure out why this is happening, but can they do it before time runs out for all of them?

And Then There Were Four by Nancy Werlin was intense and I just had to keep on reading. There did not seem to be any down time, it was just constant motion and I was constantly wondering what would happen next! I know that I have already read a mystery book, but this one seemed different because I just got Agatha Christie vibes from the title.

This story is told through Caleb and Saralinda’s point of view for reasons that you will understand when you finish reading the book (no spoilers here). Saralinda’s chapters were a little hard to read because it’s written in the way she thinks, but Caleb’s chapters are written like he’s outside of  himself. Even though these points of view are completely different, a couple of times I would find myself being confused about whose point of view I was reading. That may have been because of how fast I was reading, though. I was laughing and gasping out loud and just smiling more than a couple of times while reading this book. The characters were lovable because of their flaws, which are pretty personal and made their connections with each other more intimate, along with our connection to them, especially Saralinda and Caleb. It was so enjoyable to read, though it was creepy at times, but that’s a trademark of a mystery book isn’t it?

Another thing that I liked was Caleb’s character growth throughout the book because you really see it in his chapters but it continues in Saralinda’s chapters as well. He was so inside his head because of his flaw, but then he really connected with Antoine, Saralinda, Kenyon, and Evangeline. It warmed my heart to see how he was growing and how he would sometimes slip up about the way he has been forcing himself to think. I was catching so many different feels while reading this book, but that made it so engaging and almost impossible to put down! Even when you do put this book down (because you’ll have to at some point because homework and life), you will be thinking ahead and trying to guess what happens next!
