Reviews

[Mark Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Those who have played and enjoy the Deadbolt Mystery Society will appreciate this book more than those who haven’t as there are references throughout. All that was needed was even more heavy metal music references and a bit darker/grittier descriptions! Enjoy my fellow detectives!

Really enjoyed this book, makes me want to catch up with all the mysteries mentioned throughout. Nice tie in for those who do the deadbolt subscription.

What an incredibly interesting story! I was very happy when Mr. Brannon included the Hideaway Motel in this storyline. I enjoyed those cases the most so far in the DeadBolt Mysteries.

Pretty good read. Lots of twists and turns in the story. It kept you guessing about the killer. Interesting conclusion.
