“Writing is a kind of beautiful madness. It is slitting yourself open, bleeding your soul onto the page,” The renowned anonymous author J. R. Alastor hires aspiring writer Mila del Angél to host a writing retreat at his private manor. The guest list? Six famous thriller authors, all masters of deceit and misdirection. Confess to your crimes, survive the tropes. This book was too slow burn for me. It didn't pick up until like 75%, that was too late for me. I was bored, even though I usually enjoy a good locked room mystery. Ar least the atmosphere of the story was very well done. I didn't have a strong connection to the characters and I didn't care what happened to them. It felt to me like the author was more in love with her own words than the plot or the characters of this story. I did enjoy the ending. There were some surprises and good twists!
