What a wild ride! Amy Tintera absolutely killed it in this uniquely humorous murder mystery. EVERY ONE of our book club members loved it, NONE of us guessed whodunit (we guessed everyone BUT the culprit), and the twists were unforeseen by ALL! But the thing that most speaks to Ms. Tintera's talent is the fact that several of us aren't really true murder mystery fans, and I personally don't enjoy reading stories where the characters engage in infidelity or casual sex. Despite this novel checking off each of those boxes, somehow, with the interjected humor, it just worked and was a truly entertaining novel!
We were big fans of the podcast host, Ben and the protagonist, Lucy, but Grandma was surely the crowd fave! We also loved discussing the characterization of each of the other individuals; Amy Tintera really fleshed out each one vividly. The discussion was so animated, and we highly recommend this novel for other book clubs!
Oh, Celadon Books and NetGalley, I just can't thank you enough for this fun surprise for my book club! The timing worked out perfectly for our weekend getaway, and we had great fun chatting it up after we read it!
