Whodunit?

by Norma Seely

Fog settles in and a leisurely drive turns frightening for mystery writer Annie Kirk when the car she’s in is forced off the road. She and the driver, Brendan Marshall, are unhurt, but they’re also unprepared for the bizarre events that take place as a result of this incident. Strange happenings begin almost immediately when Annie thinks she sees someone or something in the shape-shifting mist, but a search turns up nothing. Several weeks later Annie is invited to speak to a book discussion group and to participate in a murder mystery game put together by one of the members. As the game unfolds, Annie notices uncanny parallels to the day she and Brendan were forced off the road; it seems that someone else was present at the time. Seeing someone hadn’t been her imagination. It also becomes evident that one of the players isn’t playing at murder, but is deadly serious. It’s up to Annie to discover why and whodunit.

Not bad, although it might have helped to read the first in the series first (I just didn't know there was one).

Mystery writer Annie is persuaded to give a talk to a book club that specializes in mysteries. Then they ask her to join in a mystery game one of their members has invented. Annie doesn't expect the events to take place during a terrible storm that blocks access--and, more importantly, egress--from a lovely but remote old shoreside home. As Annie tries to deal with the strange people in the group--and why are two of them missing?--her friend Brendan desperately makes his way through storm-tossed roads to help her.

Not bad

Not a bad title at all. It's nice to get caught in a mystery. It didn't have the whodunit air that I was hoping for in particular. But it still had a nice cozy feel. I think I'll read more Seely books in the future.

Not really worth the time I spent on it. Fortunately, I read this in one sitting...and it only lost me about two hours of my life.
