1920’s themed murder mystery? Sign me up! I loved the premise of this story and there was an immediate draw to follow the drama and secrets of a bunch of graduates who may have murder on their mind…

As a graduation celebration, Kassidy arranged a 1920’s getaway to Ashwood manor. All mod cons are banned and for a whole week, the 7 of them will be forced to endure the company. And you can bet, there are many hidden secrets, years of angst, anger and resentment bubbling to the surface.

I love books like these and this one was fab. It was so entertaining and incredibly easy to settle down with. He pages dwindled incredibly fast and I seemed to finish it in a blink of an eye. There was enough mystery and intrigue to keep you invested, I loved the twists and turns and the ending was executed brilliantly. A great read!

Wow - fantastic! I was gripped by this YA murder mystery, with shades of Agatha Christie, Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars...really great. Thank you for the chance to read this book, I really loved it.

A murder mystery/whodunnit at a 1020s themed party? It was on my TBR in less than 5 seconds.

I can say without a doubt that this is the best book I have read so far this year. Everything about this book was so beautifully crafted and felt so incredibly authentic. I knew it’d be a 5 star read on page 3.

I loved all the characters in this book. They all felt so well-rounded and actually served a purpose in the story, rather than only being there to serve one character. It felt like a genuine friendship group with real arguments and issues. I loved Kassidy and Izzy’s best friends/more like sisters dynamic (which I am a sucker for in any book) and I adored the way all of the relationships in the book didn’t feel at all forced, they all just fit really naturally and with a lot of chemistry.

The pacing of this book was divine. The switches between current time and past events helped the story to flow so beautifully and keep me on edge a little more every time. When I tell you I physically gasped multiple times when reading, I mean dropping my phone and leaving the room to take a few minutes to breathe and process it all. As much as I adored the characters, none of them were safe from my questioning. I’d switch up so fast with every little plot twist and drop of info and I would just like to apologise to all of the innocent characters, I am so sorry.

Lauren Muñoz you are a genius. I can’t wait to read more from you
