All Dressed Up

YA author Gagnon’s (#famous) adult debut, deftly narrated by Christine Lakin and David DeSantos, features unfaithful husband Blake, who hopes to make up for his indiscretion by treating his wife, Becca, to a lavish murder-mystery weekend trip. The weekend’s theme is the Roaring Twenties—Ida Crooner, the owner of the mansion, has been murdered, and the guests must solve the mystery by the end of the weekend. Each guest is assigned a character with a personality and backstory. When a maid named Bethany disappears, Becca suspects she has been murdered, but she doesn’t know if Bethany’s disappearance is part of the game or if a real murder has occurred. Becca is embarrassed to reveal her suspicions, so she attempts to find the murderer herself, surrounded by guests who hold secrets and relationships that are not as idyllic as they appear to be. Lakin and DeSantos ramp up the fun, providing each character with a distinct voice, whether they are speaking as their real selves or their 1920s-era personas.
