About this listen

Remi McKenna is co-hosting a letterboxing event, but her weekend plans are not all fun and games when best friend Trace Cooper is the target of a stalker. An inheritance of a stone manor house means she hopes this will be the start of her new life in Northern Virginia. Can Remi juggle the event, start planning her game-themed BnB, and solve the mystery of Trace's strange messages? Things escalate into a real-life game of Clue when Remi finds a dead body in the garden.

The first book in The Board Game Café Mysteries series.

I love board games and was intrigued by the idea of Remi turning an old manor she inherited into an inn that hosted board game events. Remi and her best friend, Trace, have made their way to the woods of Northern Virginia to see what’s inside and in need of repair. Remi is also co-hosting a letterbox event with her neighbors when things turn deadly. Trace is getting strange messages and things soon turn to murder. Can Remi solve the murders? Is she a suspect with the local police?

This was fun and I learned a little about letterboxing, something I think I’d enjoy. I liked Remi and her plans for the B&B, which set the series up for future mysteries. The murders and Remi’s murder board kept me guessing. The danger slowly built until the murderer exposes themselves.

The neighbors, locals, letterbox enthusiasts and alien hunters gave us plenty of suspects, including Remi’s ex-boyfriend, who shows up unexpectedly. Who can Remi trust?

Fans of cozy mysteries will delight in this game of clue. Nicole Fikes narrates the audiobook and is new to me. She did a delightful job of capturing the characters and tone of the story. I highly recommend listening.
