The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

3.0

This wintery thriller was pretty OK. The writing retreat setting drew me in, and while I found the two main protagonists(?) rather irritating, the others kept me interested. The major tone shift that ushers in the novel's final act was quite a shock, even if I saw parts of the twist coming. I'm not sure I found the resolution very satisfying, but the very, very end? Fucked up in just the right way. Overall, it was a good background listen for chores.
