Despite the fact that I was able to predict the main occurrences (a large part of this is surely because I have read the similar Agatha Christie novel) this was an entertaining, suspenseful, and crafty little read. Meg, the main character, is very likable: she defends her friend even when it's not easy, is pretty quick to piece things together, and makes really none of your "predictable horror film female" choices (like going off to make-out in the woods or something similarly stupid).
The writing style is good, although there are a few cliches scattered among the more well-crafted pieces. McNeil is good with really drawing the reader into the story and presenting clues, characters, and happenings in an effective way.
While "Ten" is nothing super-duper-spectacular (and could use a better title), I found it a great read for a story day and will certainly be reading another Gretchen McNeil book in the future.… (mer)
