a fun start to the 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.

Fun listen for cozy murder mystery readers

Was a fun listen for the murder mystery genre. I liked the board gaming / letterboxing references. The narrator did an excellent job at conveying the story to keep me invested in the plot. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Fun and Games and Murder

This is an excellent debut novel for a new author worth following!
Great characters, setting, and plot had me consume the entire thing in one sitting.
Well done! Can't wait for the next one.
