A perfect companion novel to "Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone"/"Everyone on this Train is a Suspect." Scratches that "Knives Out: Glass Onion" itch wonderfully. Cannot wait to read more from this series.

This was everything I wanted it to be & more... 10 days in Italy on a book tour for the ages, with 5 authors and 3 bodies.... everyone is a suspect, but who has the motive AND the opportunity??? This is the perfect love child of "The White Lotus" and "Murder on the Orient Express". Our main character is seeming Jennifer Coolidge with an aperol spritz on a yacht & the one with the brain power to solve (or write) the best ending.

At the end of the very first chapter, we are introduced to the possibility that someone is attempting to murder one of the main characters, so to say I was hooked instantly would be an understatement. The author breaks the fourth wall throughout the book in a way that really makes the listener feel like they are solving the mystery alongside the narrator, who is ELIZABETH EVANS (hello SJM universe narrator). There are so many clues dropped throughout the book to lead the listener to the final conclusion of the book, but even so, I didn't see what ultimately happened coming. Talk about a jaw dropping finale that was twisty and totally satisfying.

Elizabeth Evans delivers all of the lines so well that the comedy was even funnier and the exciting moments were even more exciting. Could not recommend her narrations in general enough & this was no exception!

"It's me, hi. I'm the plotter, it's me"
I love a good Taylor Swift reference

A fantastic read, mystery thriller with a dash romance and lots of humor. I was immersed into the story from the beginning, all the characters were well developed, the plot twists were comical.
The audiobook was great, the voices to each character was different enough that it made easy to understand. The narrator was amazing

4.5 stars! I found myself laughing way too much for a murder mystery! I loved the concept of this book having comments from the narrator as the mystery is unraveling. The narrator for the audiobook does a wonderful job keeping you engaged and giving each character their own voice. My only small issue is that some of the characters become a little repetitive with their personal issues and conflict with one another. Listened to this during a long roadtrip and I have zero regrets!!
