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.

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.

Story Just Didn’t Gel

One of the most common phrases is “oh, why didn’t I think of this sooner.” “Why didn’t I remember to hide/lockup my gun that is stored in my desk when there is a killer on the loose?” “Why did I never look into providing backup power when I continually pride myself in offering top class service and also continually say that I learned the lessons of hurricane Katrina?” “Why did we not realize that our lawn/maintenance man is storing bags of weed in our garden shed?””Why did I not remember that I had a transistor radio until days later?” Oh why? Oh why? Oh why?

Everyone is written a little stupid so the reader can’t solve the mystery

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.

Twist and Turn

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.

Good suspense, but the end was a disappointment. Wish it was better! Lots of twists and turns, which was good. I think it would have been a great book if the author had a really good ending.

Disappointing end.

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!
