An overworked accountant and book influencer finally takes a vacation and stumbles into a real-life mystery. I'm loving how different it feels from anything else I’ve read lately!

This was such a fun summer listen. It’s a mix of romance and mystery, which I didn’t know I needed, but now I want more of. I was completely hooked right from the start. The story had a great vibe overall, but I will say it started to slow down about halfway through and dragged a little in spots.

That said, I loved the bookstagram references (so relatable!) and the book quotes sprinkled throughout.

Thank you Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for an Advanced Listening Copy of this book!

What a great vacation cozy read! I thought this was a great mix of romance, mystery and lit fic! The only thing negative I would say was I started to get characters mixed up, as I felt like there was a lot going on sometimes in scenes, but that could be a me problem lol.
