About this listen

Stranded by a raging hurricane, a group of strangers find themselves trapped at a grand antebellum mansion, now a boutique hotel. Novelist Callum Burke, known for his historical bestsellers, is among the guests, the Oleander Plantation the main stop on a research trip for his new book, while several couples from up north are in New Orleans to celebrate personal milestones.

As the hurricane batters the house and the waters rise, Callum is found hanging from an ancient oak, murdered in the same way as the notorious villain in his most popular book. Cut off from the outside world, the guests soon realize that the murderer might strike again, and everyone at the plantation could either be the next victim or the killer.

The Oleander Plantation becomes the perfect setting for a real-life locked-room mystery, where the truth is buried beneath layers of deceit, hidden motives, and suppressed desires. The tempest outside mirrors the chaos within the mansion's walls, and plot devices from Callum’s book become clues as truth and fiction collide in a deadly narrative.

A really enjoyable listen. Who done it books are the best and with a plantation and Louisiana it is a recipe for amazement. I felt sorry for Jess because everything g went down at her place of business. I would recommend this listen and let the reader decide if private justice is suitable when the justice system fails the victims. I don’t condone murder but sadly the justice system fails the victims. The writer in this story was not a nice person and as the listener it makes you wonder if the victims would have gone to the police whose word would be believed.

Loved it

This was just an “ok” book. I had a hard time keeping the characters straight. It seemed pretty drawn out and at times did not hold my attention. It wasn’t bad and I can see how some people might enjoy it.

Even thought I liked The Lost Colony a little better. My favorite part of this book, was that I couldn't take a break. I listened to all of it in one day.
I found myself trying to examine each of these characters, to figure out "who done it". I could feel for the main character when she was betrayed, as well. Even though I really wanted her betrayer to be a good guy!
Every time I hear this readers voice, I think Oh, I'm not going to like listening, but I soon change my mind. She's great.

This book will have you wondering ‘who done it’ to the end! And then have you wondering if justice will ever be served…well timed suspense and I loved the performance of the narrator. Well done Irina!

Loved it! Plenty of twists I never saw coming. Very descriptive, loved the characters too

Great read!

Unlikable protagonist, over dramatic, how often does she need to "think" it through. Illogical premise, unsatisfying ending.

Ill prepared in Louisiana

The forlorn setting on a repurposed plantation in the midst of a hurricane built on the tension of the characters. I listened in one day as a group of customers at the old home got to know one another and experience an Agatha Christie-like “vacation.”

High tension!

Good plot and interesting characters that were placed just right for the story to keep you puzzling thru till the end.

I was invested at the start and through the middle but then it fell apart and the ending was truly disappointing.

I try not to leave unpleasant reviews, but seriously, here’s a synopsis (don’t worry, no spoilers)…
Murder occurs… Main character: maybe he did it, maybe she did, maybe he did it, maybe that other guy did it, etc. Main character: oh this is a thing I shouldn’t do (then proceeds to do the thing), oh wow, this is probably a thing that a naive character in a horror movie would do - maybe I shouldn’t do this (then proceeds to do the thing). Main character: that hot guy could be the murderer, should I trust him? I don’t trust him. Maybe I do trust him. Nah, maybe not…but my gut tells me I do…but then, I don’t think I do… :-/
I listened to the entire book. Could have been better, but it just never really got better. By the end I wished that ALL the characters had gotten murdered.
Sorry, wish I had better things to say about the book.
Maybe you’ll like it.

Really? Really?
