Making friends in a new town can be murder, so when Jordyn is invited to attend a book club meeting in her new Saratoga Springs neighborhood, it’s safe to say she’s excited. But she has no intention of making friends with the tight-knit group—she has plans for revenge.
Jordyn’s foster sister was a member of the book club until she was killed in a hit-and-run after a meeting one year prior. Members of the book club had serious motives, and Jordyn is determined to read between the lines and find their secrets…and her sister’s killer.
When the book club hosts a murder mystery party, secrets begin bubbling to the surface—and the murder part of the game becomes stranger than fiction.
This bookish mystery will thrill readers looking for stories full of twists, turns, and tantalizing secrets.
I was intrigued! Rock is spreading her wings outside of her tried and true romance with her first mystery, and while it didn’t take my breath away, it did keep me reading to see what was going to happen and delivered on a major twist or two. The premise of the story was a good one that had potential to be top notch, but there were a lot of characters interwoven to get a handle on and keep track of and the story drug in several places. I wouldn’t name it as a fav by the author, but I would definitely say that I would give another mystery by her a try because there were good features in this one.
