WoW: Suddenly a Murder by Lauren Muñoz

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

Seven friends throw a 1920s-themed party, where it’s all pretend–until one of them is murdered. One of Us Is Lying meets Knives Out in this killer locked-room mystery.

Someone brought a knife to the party.

To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s-themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds–until Kassidy’s boyfriend turns up dead.

Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene, and now every party guest is a suspect. There’s the girlfriend, in love. The other girl, in despair. The old friend, forlorn. The new friend, distressed. The brooding enigma. And then, there’s Izzy–the girl who brought the knife.

To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.

Why I’m Waiting: Well, I’m not a fan of this cover, but y’all know I’m going to read anything that has murder in the title. I don’t even know why y’all playing like that lol And then there’s the fact that it names drops some of my faves, One of Us is Lying and Knives Out. Yes I hate when publishers do that, but I really think this one will be good. Or at least I hope so. Because this synopsis sounds so good. Yes it’s just murder and opulence and expensive stuff, but that’s what appeals to me lol I can’t wait to get to this one! It feels like I’m reading a game of clue and I’m here for it!

What about you? Will you be reading this? Do you read books like these? Have you seen Knives Out? Have you read One of Us is Lying? Let me know in the comments!
