I have found that mysteries can be hard to write and it is easy for the plot to come apart and confuse the reader. This book is one of those mysteries. I couldn't decide between 1 or 2 stars but I disliked this book more than I enjoyed it. The writing was amateur which can sometimes work but did not help in this instance. It was uncomfortable to read about our main character having to wear an extremely tight and short dress for no reason and be apart of an unnecessary love triangle between a boyfriend going to college and an "uncousin" which is a phrase that I hate. The characters were not believable and the reveal of the killer felt rushed. I don't think the writing was polished enough to deal with such a heavy topic. Do not recommend.

This is total comfort food for a girl who grew up reading Nancy Drew. Trashy gentle teen mystery about a girl who works for her grandmother's b&b and finds out the truth about her missing mom.
Although I do have some complaints.
For one thing, the cover is WAY too edgy cool for this book. There's nothing about our protagonist that triggers hot pink OR skulls, or even distressed font.
Also, and this isn't really a complaint, but could the romance drama be any more transparent? It's seriously laughable how obvious the romance is.
Also, the writing isn't that great. There were multiple sentences I found myself correcting in my head.
But this is cozy. It's neatly tied up in a b&b mystery weekend, there's a sorta heartbreaking tragic missing mother plotline, the dad is conveniently absent, there's a cool grandmother who hums Beatles tunes, descriptions of chores and even a gazebo scene. I ripped through the last half of this book. Total comfort trash.

Though far from a "Wow, that was stellar!" I truly enjoyed it for what it was: a fun, "I don't wanna think toohard, jus twanna be entertained, darn it!" read. Think old school Clue (the movie version based on the game) meets Janet Evonovich for teens -- a secret pleasure kind of cheese. :)

If you have a free two hours read the book but if not do not waste your time. The book was decent, far from anything I would rave about.
Also, the cover doesn't fall in line with the book at all!

This was such a fun read. The characters were fabulous, the story was original, and it was thoroughly entertaining. I will definitely be tracking down other books by this author. The murder mystery weekend was nice addition to the story! It was like a murder mystery within a murder mystery. Well-done.
My one and only fault was not enough crazy Beverly! I think if I were participating in a Murder Mystery, I would've been Beverly to a T. Super competitive, interrogating everyone in sight. It'd be fun! I wish we would've gotten the reveal for the mystery weekend, that would've been the topper to a great mystery book. Alas, we didn't quite get there, but no worries this is still a winner.

Teen-age murder mystery! You don't see many of these, and this one was well done. There was a little romance, a lot of regular teen life, and the character interactions you would expect from real people who are missing someone important in their life. I really hope Kristin Nitz writes more like this one!

Definitely a beginner book for YA wanting to read mysteries. Not even 200 pages. It was entertaining enough that I didn’t put it down, quick lazy evening read. But I felt like the side plot lines were focused on more than the actual mystery. However... this review comes from someone that has watched every BBC murder mystery out on streaming.

A Decades old mystery finally resolved, a love triangle and satisfying twist at the end.
December 7, 2010
Seventeen-year-old Jen has grown up not really knowing her mother. After her mom ran off when she was just a little girl, the only contact Jen has had with her is short letters that arrived with gifts that arrived for her birthday and the usual holidays each year. Even that seemed to stop a couple of years ago.
As she is finishing up her junior year in school, Jen comes to the rescue for Grandma Kay, the owner of a bed and breakfast called the Schoenhaus. In fact, her grandmother has run the place for years and has become quite well-known for the mystery weekends she runs on a regular basis. Jen has always enjoyed helping out at the inn, she is not sure that she is thrilled be recruited this summer, particularly when she learns that Grandma Kay is going to use the mystery weekend as a chance to solve the family mystery.
Kay, who was really close to her daughter-in-law, never really wanted to believe that Jen's mom would have wanted to abandon Jen and her father. Now, Grandma Kay has come to the conclusion that death was the cause of Jen's abandonment, and using the mystery party as an opportunity to refresh everyone's minds about what happened at the time of the disappearance seems like a great way to get to the truth.
To make matters even more complex over the summer, Jen's boyfriend Kent broke up with her right after the prom. He was concerned that their relationship would not survive the distance that would come between them when he headed off to college in the fall. This way, they could stay friend. You would think she would want to get away from that situation, but the confusion broadens when she runs into Mark. Mark is her un-cousin ... they share a Grandma Kay, but not actual genes as they are both part of a blended extended family like so many other kids in the modern world.
The two become closer and closer over the summer as Jen works at the inn and they get quite a few chances to hang out together. Both insist they are just friends, though, because it would just be weird to be more. When they are thrust into the starring roles as fiances for the mystery party, everyone (including them) can't help but admit that there is more going on between them. Unfortunately, they may not be able to follow up on their feelings when the truth about Jen's mom comes out ... and they might not survive the big reveal.
This is a great example of a cozy mystery for teens, which is not really all that common. The Echo Falls novels by Peter Abrahams are the closest examples in YA literature. All of the players in the murder mystery party are quickly identified as suspects not only for the game, but also in the one related to Jen's mom.
Some of the suspects are better developed than others, but they definitely help set up an interesting background that seems to fit with the setting. They were presented in such a way that I, an avid mystery reader, was totally surprised by the conclusion of the mystery. There is no shortage of developing clues and distracting red herrings to throw the reader off the track. I think those who were fans of The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin when they were in middle school will fine this to be a pretty interesting step up into the realm of high school reading.

The book I am reading is called Suspect by Nicole Nitz its genre is Mystery. This book takes place in an old victorian hotel in Missouri. This hotel is a bed and breakfast hotel that is very creepy. The protagonist is Jen. She is a girl in her junior year of high school she spends her summer helping her grandma at her hotel. The other important characters are Jen's mother Ellen and her grandmother Kay. Jen also has a few friends their names are Kent, Mark, and Bri. This book is mainly about Jen and when her mother runs away she is five years old. Her mother still sends her stuff so they know she is not dead. But one time she doesn't send Jen something. Kay and Jen think that her mother is dead and was murdered. After a lot of thought Jen thinks that someone close to her might have murdered her mom. I think the main idea/ theme of this book is to always keep looking and never give up. I think Jen alway need to have hope that her mom was alive. I personally don't think Jen should have assumed that her mom was dead or murdered just because Ellen didn't send Jen a present or a letter.
I honestly thought this book was okay I didn't really like. While the book was interesting they gave out useless information about the mystery. The book was rather predictable and I knew what was going to happen at the end of the book by the middle of the book.The author uses some very interesting literary techniques. The author uses mood and it has a very suspenseful tone to the book when the author states " The front door of the Schoenhaus swung open, and it was my uncousin stepped out onto the porch". Although Jen's cousin stepped onto the porch and that is a good thing, the word swung is a good word to make you scared and think something bad it coming out. If the Author said opened the door you would have been much less scared. The author also has a good sense in characterization like all of the characters are connected in a special way. Like ex boyfriends and new boyfriends and best friend that are friend with ex boyfriends.I would recommend this book even though I didn't like it that much. This book would be good for people who like knowing what is going to happen fast. For example this is good for people who like reading the end of the book before anything.

A surprising YA mystery-romance: surprising because except for the mention of cellphones and Dockers, it could have been written in 1965. And maybe they actually had Dockers in 1965, I don't know. Jen's dad, long divorced from Jen's missing mother Ellen, insists that Jen spend a summer working at the resort hotel run by his mother, really to keep an eye on Jen's Grandma Kay.
SPOILER AHEAD: Dad is convinced his mother is losing it because she has the wacky notion that Ellen is not missing but dead. Jen tries to get to the bottom of this mystery. Seemingly by coincidence, Grandma Kay is sponsoring a mystery weekend at the resort, but in reality the situation in the fake mystery parallels the situation at the period during which Ellen went missing. Jen gets to practice her acting talents and her Nancy Drew abilities simultaneously. As expected, there's an old boyfriend, Kent, and an old friend, Mark, who's almost like a relative, and a teenage seductress, Bri, as part of the mix.
The burgeoning relationship between Jen and Mark is G-rated and kind of sweet, but Kent and Bri are never sufficiently developed to seem a threat on either end. I figured out the solution to the mystery pretty early on, but the motive was a bit of a surprise to me. The best part of the book was the lovely hotel in its small-town Missouri setting. All in all, a pleasant, old-fashioned cozy adventure without much substance.

I think I liked this more while I was reading it and then the more I thought about it afterwards the more issues I had. Really I would give this 2.5 stars for "I liked it ok". The mystery fell sort of flat for me, I wasn't in love with any of the characters ...but there were some elements that were fun and I liked it enough to read the whole thing. What this book did for me was made me want to join a murder mystery weekend at an inn...that seems like fun.
Oh and two things that were sort of surprises that rubbed me the wrong way...grandma gives our teen heroine wine to drink...first time I have ever read that in a YA novel. For some reason this bothers me but reading about teens drinking sneaking it behind the backs of adults doesn't. And I actually have no issue with this in real life as my parents let me try sips of wine at dinner too so why in a book I'm not sure.
And also our main character texts while driving even though stopped in traffic and admits to promising dad she never would.... just seemed irresponsible...on the author's part...though other things that seem irresponsible never rub me that way. And I don't believe authors are supposed to protect their readers or anything like that. Very curious about me and my reaction.

This book was chosen for me, from my mother because of the challenge in booktubeathon. I haven't ever heard of the book nor the author so I was a little worried on how it might be. It was reasonably good. The story follows Jen as she goes to help her Grandmother at her Bed & Breakfast. Her grandmother concocted some hair brain plan on what happened to her mother who disappeared 14 years ago. I love mystery book but have found that most mystery books in the YA genre are very bland and don’t have a whole lot of action. This book followed those observations. The only action in this book was in the last 20 pages. It was a very quick read at little under 200 pages. The writing could've been better but overall it was average. I didn't care for the romance in the book. I think it could've been displayed better, but I guess I am just used to romance taking center stage. I thought the plot and mystery were somewhat far-fetched and were very simple to figure out. The cover of this book is very interesting and I think that played a part in my mom choosing this book. However I saw nothing that would have connected this book and the cover together. I would recommend this book to people who want a fast read and who like mystery books. I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Suspect by Kristin Wolden Nitz is about a girl named Jen whose mom disappeared when she was a little girl, but she would still receive presents, letters, and postcards from someone claiming to be her mother. All of a sudden she stopped receiving the presents and letters which made her think about what really happened to her mother. Jen goes to her grandma’s motel to solve the mystery with the help of her relatives. At Jen’s grandma’s motel her uncle admits that he was the one sending the presents because he wanted her to know that her mom’s spirit was still with her. I choose this book because the summary on the back sounded very intriguing. I liked this book because it kept me in suspense until the very end because it was interesting to find out who was doing all of that. My favorite quotes is “It was me,” because that’s what Jen’s uncle said to her about all the presents she used to receive. The book is written in first person which makes everything easier to understand. I would recommend this book to everyone because it keeps you in suspense until the end.

I chose this book to read because I like to read and write mysteries. Suspect was recommended as an example of well-placed clues and red herrings. While it was a mystery, the author did take us into the mind of 17 year old Jen whose mom had disappeared from her life at an early age. We see the impact of jen's not knowing what really happened to her as the story progresses and also her strengths and flaws as an unfolding teenager protagonist. Even though this was a mystery and there was a death, there was nothing scary, spooky or disturbing as in other young adult genres. There was a little hint of romance but not the overwhelming yearning found in some young adult books. I liked the setting: her grandmother's bed and breakfast in Missouri, surrounded by vineyards, mostly over a mystery weekend planned by her grandmother for selected guests. I think younger readers would enjoy the book more than I did.
May 17, 2011
Suspect was a great little read. The mystery weekend hosted Jen's Grandmother at a Victorian Bed and Breakfast keep Jen on her toes. Her Mother disappeared years ago, and the gifts and notes have stopped coming. Jen's Father sent her to help her Grandmother out with this Mystery weekend as she is short of help and he believes that the mystery may also be based around the disappearance of Jen's Mother.
The book pulled me in, it was a nice little mystery, and I knew some of the answers before they were revealed but the ending was definately a surprise. This is a nice book for those who love mystery's.
Here is the information on the book that was on GoodReads: This well-plotted whodunit will hook readers from the start and keep them reading until the surprising solution is revealed.

Jen's mother disappeared when she was just a child, and while she's considered many possibilities for the disappearance, murder was never one of them. But when she gets sent to her grandmother's bed and breakfast for the summer, she finds out that her grandmother, who hosts murder mystery games for her guests, has begun to suspect just that and has designed her latest murder mystery game around the details of Jen's mother's life and disappearance in hopes of uncovering the truth.
The murder mystery aspect of this book was intriguing, but some other aspects fell flat. The side story of a romance was rushed and underdeveloped, the domineering grandmother was irritating more than endearing, and the twist ending resolved a little too easily. It's not necessarily a bad choice for those looking for a teen mystery, but it's not a spectacular book by any means.

Jen's mother left her as a young child. At age seventeen, her father asks her to help out at her grandmother's Bed and Breakfast because he thinks she is not emotionally stable. Her grandmother is convinced that Jen's mother never left intentionally...and she was murdered. Jen begins to wonder if the gifts and letters she received over the years really could be from her mother's murderer. When I began this book, it was difficult to get involved in the story or characters, but I wonder if it was because I was still lost in the last book I read. As the story progressed, I became very curious how the mystery would turn out, and I could not put it down.

What would you do if your mom disappeared? Would you believe that she just left you? Or would you think that something happened to her?
Jen's mother disappeared when she was a toddler, but she gets letters from her for her birthday and Christmas and stuff. So why does her grandmother all of a sudden think Jen's mom is dead? Grandma Kay is throwing a "mystery" weekend party--the real purpose of which is to find out who killed Jen's mom, Ellen.
Jen doesn't know what to believe. Were the letters she's been getting from her mom, Ellen, who just up and left... or has her mom's killer been sending Jen messages for years? Jen is going to find out.

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: This one starts out with a great mystery premise-girl trying to find the truth about her long-missing mother during a murder mystery weekend hosted at her grandmother's bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, it quickly looses any of the mystery. The mystery falls flat, the story is cut too short and the characters are just never fully developed. I would have liked this one more if the mystery hadn't been so cheesy and if the book had actually had about 50 pages more to the plot.

Suspect is about a teenage girl named Jen, mother went missing when she was just a little girl. Jen continued to receive letters and gifts from her mom, until one day they stopped. The story is set at Jen's grandmother's Bed & Breakfast, where she works over the summer. The book did a good job at getting you hooked at the beginning, but lacked action or anything to keep you super interested. It was an incredibly easy read using basic vocabulary. The book was okay but I have definitely read much better.

Jen will by spending the summer helping at her grandmother's bed and breakfast in Missouri. Every summer at the B&B includes an elaborate mystery weekend. This year Jen's grandmother also hopes to solve the mystery surrounding Jen's own mother who has been missing for 14 years.
This was a fun fast read. I enjoyed the characters and the location (Missouri has wine country?!?). I also enjoyed the sense of family that the book conveys. The mystery of her mother is also very good

I just now started the book Suspect by Kristin Wolden Nitz. This book is about a girl, who's parents are divorced because her mother was always gone, and she is sent to her grandmother's inn for the Summer. When she arrives she finds that her grandma thinks her mother is dead. This doesn't sound like the type of book I would like but I will have to see and find out. This is nothing like my life so I can't relate to it.

Whodunit is the million dollar question in this well plotted mystery.
The only thing I didnt like about this book was that at the end she goes out with her "uncousin" which I thought was really wierd.
Other than that I thought it was an exceptionally well written book that ends the elaborate plot with an unexpected ending.
I would reccomend this book to anyone looking for a mystery.

I have always liked reading Nancy Drew books. So this book i really liked. It was a good mystery book. While reading this book, i thought so many people had done it. i suppose thats what the author wanted to happen. I couldn't put this book down. Finished it in a couple of hours. If you like mystery books this is a good book for you :)

This book was so amazing! The very first day I got it I read like 96 pages. I would recomend it to any one who is in to mysteries. This was actually the vey first mystery book I have read, and it was such a great book. So yes. Very good book.

A really good murder mystery. The ending's a little weak but only because Jen's actions don't seem completely realistic.
