Mini Audiobook Review: This has been one popular book over the last month! I had been wanting to read it for awhile and was happy when one of my bookclubs picked it as the December read. I am very conflicted on how I feel about the book. In some way, I really enjoyed it but then in another I found some of it cringey and then confusing.

Ethan's constant "Wanna make out?" was so cringey!! Maggie just let it roll off her back but he was coming on a little too strong for me especially when she didn't even seem interest. Now as the book went on my ick towards Ethan soften and I ended up liking him. By the end I thought their relationship was very cute and I was happy for them two!

I did like the author's way of mixing the two genres of a cozy mystery and romance! Even though I was left feeling confused by the end, it doesn't reflect on the tone and the fun I had while reading. Plus this had one of my favorite tropes in a mystery - locked room! I think I was most confused with the ending. So I think I may go back and reread with my eyes to see how it all wrapped up since it just didn't sit well with my brain by just listening.

During our discussion it seem like those around felt the same. It was just okay. I'm happy I read it and I really enjoyed the mix of the two genres. I also liked that the chapters were short and made you feel like you were cruising along.

I recommend giving this book a read if you are looking for a cozy mystery with romance set in a mansion of a famous author ala Agatha Christie like!
