Protecting his friends has always come first…
When Nolan Orr, founding member of Lost Lake Locators, and his teammates receive a mysterious invitation to a secluded mansion on Lost Island for what seems to be an innocent game night with his closest college friends, he eagerly agrees to attend. Not only to enjoy the event with friends who were more like family to him than his actual family, but to figure out which friend set up the fun but unusual night.

Until he has to consider one of them a suspect for murder.
However, as the evening progresses, he soon realizes that they are pawns in a deadly game orchestrated by a twisted mastermind. Where betrayal and survival go hand in hand, ultimately leading to a missing friend, to murder and a murder investigation that Sheriff Mina Park arrives to take charge of. Problem is, Nolan and Mina had a brief summer fling one year on his visit to the island, and it ended badly. Will she let him into the investigation and work with him, or avoid him as she’s been doing for years?

I like that it brings in characters from her other series, it makes it feel familiar while being new. The characters are will developed, flawed not perfect but genuinely striving to put the past in the past. The new team is a family to each other so the bonds are tight. The escape room was a new twist. They really had to know each other well to work it out.

Susan Sleeman never disappoints!

I like Susan Sleeman, a touch of romance with modern mystery. I've been a huge fan of this genre for over 29 years and am always thrilled to see new authors continue and improve.

Excellent modern mystery

I loved the characters and the story. I was disappointed she decided not to discuss her parents apparent interference in her relationship with Nolan. It felt like a big deal that they would allow her to suffer all these years and not mention it. What happened to the note? I thought it would pop up in her friends belongings or an explanation maybe left by her friend before he died. It's weird that so many people in her life were conspiring against her while she seemed to think she had good relationships with these people. I agreed with Nolan that it was bound to come up at some point and shouldn't have been glossed over like it wasn't important.

The police work at the end was off to me. There was no mention of processing Becca's phone when it was found. What if it had data or fingerprints that could lead to a warrant instead of a stakeout with no authority to enter? Then when there is clearly about to be a murder, right in front of their eyes, they sit in vehicle and discuss instead of jumping out immediately after calling for backup? Previously, she detained the guy who had Becca's phone with weapon drawn and he was unarmed. She now approaches a known murderer, who is holding a gun on a victim and she only has her hand on gun holster in case? She's already lost in a draw because his weapon is already drawn and pointed at the intended victim. I feel like leo's would have approached with gun drawn until perpetrator drops his weapon. Then she puts herself between the shooter and victim with her hands in the air like she's the bad guy? That sounds noble but she just drew possible gunfire towards victim. If she's shot and killed what's to stop him from firing 2 rounds and both her and the victim are dead before Nolan can approach. Then Nolan is hit and about to be hit again, fatally, and although she has her gun out this time, I believe, she still doesn't take a shot and decides to hope he'll put the gun down after having just fired two shots? I wouldn't have wanted to be Becca or Nolan in that situation. I feel she handled the investigation well up to that point but then apparently had too much compassion or inexperience with someone who has already committed one murder and actively trying to kill 3 more people. Sorry, that's a lot but it bugged me and it sort of took away from the ending a little, adding disbelief and disappointment instead of just relief and happiness.

Good characters, interesting story, a few distracting elements

This book is the start of a new series. I really like the characters. The beginning was a slow start for me, but it has a strong finish. This book has a lot of suspense, some twists, a clean romance, and a happy ending. I didn't like the performance very much.

Entertaining, clean suspense

Normally I can guess who did it within the first couple chapters. Not in this one. It was very well hidden. All the way to the last couple chapters. Then boom, blind sided. Well worth the time.

Had 1 hour left and still didn’t know any more than I knew when I started the book. All leads were dead ends until the very end.. no suspense. Probably won’t listen to the rest of the series.

Storyline is to slow
