Death in the Family is the first book in the Shana Merchant series, and it did NOT disappoint!

I flew through this book, and stayed up late one night because I needed to keep reading. I loved the “locked room” mystery vibes and short, engaging chapters.

I had no idea who the “bad guy” was or what the ending would be like, which was great. And I only picked up on one of the clues throughout the story, so it was great reading how Shana put everything together at the end.

I also thought the setting was so unique! I’ve been to Thousand Islands once as a kid, and it was great to “revisit” it in the pages of this book.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Thanks again to @tessawegert for this giveaway win!
