Blake has picked out a surprise weekend for his wife as a way to mend fences. It should be a no-brainer, a murder mystery weekend away at a private home. Except that he doesn't exactly let her know that it's going to be a murder mystery.. just another in a string of things he hasn't told her. And another couple that they know, Heather and Phil, the perfect couple, are there as well, which just heightens Becca's nerves. She just can't seem to hide her anger. Except that the weekend isn't what anyone seems to think it's going to be and there are more surprises on the books and it might end with Becca losing her life.
I really enjoyed most of this book. Getting into Becca's head was really interesting and I thought most of the characters were well-fleshed out (though there was some reliance on stereotypes.) The ending was a bit rocky and didn't quite seem to fit but I did like that there were breadcrumbs throughout the story (and some hits broadly over the head) to help the reader see where the finale was going.
This book comes out September 6, 2022
