Thanks to Netgalley, PRH Audio, and Ballantine Books for the gifted book. All opinions are my own.

Becca and her husband Blake are participating in a themed murder mystery weekend at a glamorous manor hotel. She loves mysteries so even though she feels a bit duped by her husband surprising her with this element on their weekend away, she decides to stay and play along. The murder mystery element of the weekend is super cheesy, but she's game to play. However, when one of the main actors doesn't show up, Becca gets suspicious that something else is going on, but the rest of the staff chalks it up to flakiness. Is there a real mystery afoot during this fake one?!

I messaged my friend in the middle of this book and asked if I should DNF it. I should know when I ask that that I should go ahead and quit. This book was terrible (and I normally can find something to redeem a book to give a semi favorable review, but not here). The main character, Becca, is a whiny entitled insecure woman who I wanted to stop talking (too bad she's the only POV you get). Plus this book is rife with all kinds of infidelity. All kinds. And in various degrees of celebrating vs distaining infidelity, often by the same characters. In addition, the actual mystery of this book was so predictable that it just made me roll my eyes when it was actually revealed. Do not read this book. There are much better locked door mysteries.
