A Beautifully Balanced Blend of Beloved Genres!

Reviewed: 12-21-24

I’ll admit I kind of underestimated this book. I expected it to be kitschy and quant, but that’s what I came for. Sometimes that’s what makes a cozy a cozy, getting exactly what you expect. But before long I was gasping at reveals, guffawing at clever quips, and gushing over the romance! Romance and classic “locked room” murder mysteries are my favorite genres of all time, and this knocked BOTH out of the park! Ally Carter came to kick butt and chew bubblegum and she definitely ran out of bubblegum by page 2! The voice acting didn’t leave anything on the table, it was a phenomenal performance beginning to end! I think the audiobook format really enhanced my experience but I can’t wait to pick up a physical copy to compare and re-experience the whole caper knowing about every clue and everyone’s true motives! As always with a new favorite, my only problem is my greed. This should be a series! Take my money Ally Carter!
