It was very intriguing, but I don’t see myself picking up any of the other books. Like many YAs Avery felt like a very 2D character compared to everyone else. And the rest seemed like caricatures.

Fast, Fun read. 

I didn’t read what this book was about before diving in. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s fast paced and enjoyable, but I didn’t feel emotionally connected to any of the characters. The plot twist was pretty obvious, but the rest of it kept me guessing. But there was still with something missing with the plot or the dialogue. I can’t put my finger on it. I was also disappointed in the ending of the first mystery.

There’s no way that there wasn’t a picture of Toby somewhere in the house. It was pretty obvious from the beginning that he was the long lost son thought to be dead. Also the ending of the game just being that the family needed to stick together and air their dirty laundry?  very frustrated by this, but I digress.

I’m curious to see how this mystery continues in the next books.

I enjoyed it a lot!! I haven’t read a mystery in a while, and I actually didn’t even know that it was one hahaha, but it was very cute! And a very easy read/listen as well. I enjoyed the characters getting to know one another and I can’t wait for that to continue too! While I was able to guess some of the mysteries, it wasn’t all of them. And the bigger ones I didn’t know either. Very cute and very well written. Would definitely listen or read again, can’t wait to read the rest.

Read in a day, roughly 10hrs, (a new record for me, with a first time read). This book is super entertaining and a fast read, I read it In pretty much 3 sittings. All the chapters follow on like a movie there’s really no page you can put the book down on. The characters are extremely loveable and the plot intriguing

Really fun & enjoyable YA  “whodunnit” mystery with very little violence (1st in series) with major “Knives Out” vibes — featuring an unexpected inheritance of billions, the unique and twisted family members of the bequeathing billionaire , and a sprawling Biltmore-esque estate with secret passages, furniture with hidden compartments and lots of riddles to be solved. Looking forward to the next in the series!!!
