The Unwedding

Ellery Wainwright was supposed to be celebrating her 20th anniversary at a Big Sur luxury resort. Instead, she finds herself alone there, mourning her marriage and previous life. To make matters worse, there is a wedding happening at the same time. Ellery tries to make the best of her situation and vacation by immersing herself in nature and meeting new people. But the vacation takes a chilling turn when Ellery, out for an early-morning swim, discovers the body of the groom in the hotel pool. Then a powerful storm moves into the area, causing mudslides that block the only way out of the resort, trapping the guests with a murderer. Christine Lakin’s adept narration and character voices transport listeners to a terrifying week in a California inn where the generator doesn’t have much power left, and the police are too far away to help.
