Review

Though the work is far from done, Gray House Library’s new owner is eager to host a murder mystery dinner and literary themed escape room. But when a rehearsal ends with an actor murdered and the body vanishes, Tempest is witness to a seemingly impossible crime.

This is a bit like playing the game Clue! There are lots of guesses, suspects and suggestions, especially with the magician’s equipment and the secret stairs. This just adds to the “whodunnit” element.

I enjoyed the secrecy and the hunt for what the devil is going on. However, there are a lot of characters and sometimes the hidden secret is a bit too easy to guess.

The narrator, Soneela Nankani, did a very good job. Tons of voices in this novel and there is a distinct voice for everyone.

Need a cute tale with a pretty good guessing game..THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
