Week 43 Review: Suddenly a Murder

From Goodreads:
Seven friends throw a 1920s-themed party, where it's all pretend--until one of them is murdered. One of Us Is Lying meets Knives Out in this killer locked-room mystery.

Someone brought a knife to the party.

To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s-themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds--until Kassidy's boyfriend turns up dead.

Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene, and now every party guest is a suspect. There's the girlfriend, in love. The other girl, in despair. The old friend, forlorn. The new friend, distressed. The brooding enigma. And then, there's Izzy--the girl who brought the knife.

To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.

My Review:
Reading this book was so thrilling! I love both of the things this is compared to, locked mysteries are always interesting, and the One of Us is Lying vibes, yeah, they were great to read. The synopsis sounded gripping, and it was! 

This was a small group, only a few people were there, it was a themed, so it would be pretty obvious that someone didn't belong, meaning that it was one of their party who had done the deed and killed the guy. Watching the interrogations, finding out the motives, I was thoroughly engaged with this book!



This was a riveting read, and I'd love to read more by Lauren Muñoz!
