I thought it was unrealistic because at no time did anyone on the island try to figure out the killer was or try to stop them. Also, when the killer was revealed their motives were not satisfactorily explained.Giles was not very sympathetic or even much of a protagonist; he was just kind of there.Also, the writing could get really bogged down from time to time.I did enjoy trying to figure out the how of each murder. Just like its predecessor, Murder on Mystery Island is just an average read. We don't get much character development and the plot is extremely formulaic. It's not a deep, amazing read by any means. It's hard to refer to it as a "light read" either, because it's a murder mystery. It's just a very simple Whodunnit. It keeps you guessing pretty well and the most interesting part of the book is trying to figure out who is killing everyone and how the next person will be killed. I wish that the books would have taken the concept deeper than the tv series did, but in the end, it's just average. 7/10.
Love this!!! I so want more of this series, I hope that the next one will come out soon.

This is not high literature, but it's fun and easy. A good vacation read.
