I only knew Condie from YA, so this was a treat for me to listen to her debut for an adult audience. I enjoyed this locked-room murder mystery which takes place at a fancy resort in the midst of a mudslide that traps wedding guests with a murderer among them. This story kept me guessing, which I love, even when a couple reveals were a bit out there. The narrator was terrific! I look forward to recommending this title and to future Condie books. Thank you to Hachette Audio, Grand Central Publishing, and NetGalley for the early listen in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Unwedding by Ally Condie follows Ellery Wainwright as she vacations at Broken Point Resort located in California. Ellery is spending what would have been her 20th wedding aniverary. Ellery is spending the vaction alone since it was paid for prior to her divorce from Like. To top everything off there is a wedding at the resort that same weekend. Ellery makes friends with Nina and Ravi both are guests staying at the resort and also meets the bride to be Olivia the night before the wedding. The next day Ellery 's life and the lives of the other guests changed forever when Ellery stumbles onto a dead body. They are now trapped in the resort since the storm from the following night has washed away the roads. They soon realize that they are trapped with a killer. I was hooked by the first few chapters in this book and couldn't put it down. If you like Megan Miranda, Alice Feeney, Lisa Jewell, Claire Douglas you will love this one also. Thank you to both NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for letting me listen to an advanced copy of this book.
