Welcome to Murderpalooza, where mystery and suspense writers check in but not all of them check out!
Bestselling author, Kristin Bailey is found murdered in her hotel room. Who would want to kill her? Her rival authors perhaps? The rivals: Vicky Overton is up for an award against Kristin; Davis Walton is a hot shot author with a huge ego; Mike Brooks is hoping for a comeback; and Suzanne Shih, a writer who has stars in her eyes and is looking for her big break.
A social medial account is taunting them to confess as they band together to out the killer. Tensions rise and fingers point as the mystery writers try to use their skills to solve this mystery.
I thought I would love this one, but I didn’t. The synopsis was great. I thought this was going to be fun and mysterious. The writing is solid, and the author created unlikeable characters and all could be suspects, but only one can be the killer. Sounds like the making of a killer plot, doesn’t it? I enjoyed the mystery in this book but wasn’t wowed by it. The ending was good, and I did not see that coming at all, so props to the author for pulling that off.
