5✨ Yet another #OUABC selection that was hard to put down and this mystery was amazing! We have 3 POVs: Val- the victims sister, Terry- the ex detective, and Bridget- a past newlywed. Something is going on at the Franklin hotel and it‘s not clear exactly what. When Val‘s sister is found dead Val is not convinced it is a suicide. Note that there are domestic violence trigger warnings as well as suicide. Check out those gold edges! 😍

“When a reporter‘s sister is found dead in a swanky Baltimore hotel, the police suspect suicide. Determined to prove them wrong, she partners with a detective who knows more than he admits about her sister, the hotel, and its history of death.⁠” ~ Once Upon a Book Club

I‘m not usually into suspense - even with a bit of paranormal. Beautiful cover art. Story kept me on my toes and not wanting to stop reading. Val did go a little too crazy for me, but she did have good reason. She doesn‘t believe her sister killed herself. I do wish their connection was brought up more. Terry was the one I was more invested in. Bridget‘s side story hit hard on every occasion of her perspective. #ouabc
