Summary:

Tell the truth. Or face the consequences.

Clue meets Riverdale in this page-turning thriller that exposes the lies five teens tell about a deadly night one year ago. 

One year ago, there was a party.
At the party, someone died.
Five teens each played a part and up until now, no one has told the truth.

But tonight, the five survivors arrive at an isolated mansion in the hills, expecting to compete in a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. Of course…some things are too good to be true. They were each so desperate for the prize, they didn’t question the odd, rather exclusive invitation until it was too late.

Now, they realize they’ve been lured together by a person bent on revenge, a person who will stop at nothing to uncover what actually happened on that deadly night, one year ago.

Five arrived, but not all can leave. Will the truth set them free?
Or will their lies destroy them all?

My Thoughts:

When I first saw that this was going to be like one of my favourite games when I was younger and now one of my new favourite tv shows, I also got the feeling that it was a little like Pretty Little Liars. I knew that I had to read this and see how it was going to be able to put it all together.

There is a group of 5 people that come together at a Murder Mystery Party and they must solve a mystery and the one that gets the right answer gets 50,000 dollars. Which sounds like a great story right? I thought so too but there was something lacking.

I am feeling indifferent on this because I want to like this but there was lacking for me. The whole idea for the story is an amazing one but reading it I just didn’t feel the connection that needs to happen being the reader. There was a lot of potential that could have happened, but it didn’t.
