I have to admit I was a little surprised to discover this book is a debut. Going for a well written locked room mystery for a debut is bold, but clearly a smart decision because this mystery was well done. I do have to say it is a bit of a slow burn mystery with more adolescent drama than action. I thought the twists were well done even if they weren’t so twisty I didn’t have a good idea what was coming. Izzy and her best friend Kassidy have always loved old movies. As a graduation present and a final hurrah Kassidy rents out a house about to become a museum that was featured in one of their favorite movies for a 1920’s themed week long party with her best friend Izzy, her boyfriend Blaine and several of their friends. Armed with authentic costumes and period activities and lacking cell phones the teens discover there are some unresolved issues between them but all of that stops mattering and matters more than ever when Blaine is discovered dead.
