Many thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Press, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this intriguing novel by Rose Wilding and wonderfully narrated by Colleen Prendergast - 4 stars!
Seven women sit in a hotel room around the severed head of Jamie Spellman. All of the women had reason to want him dead, but who did it and why? The police are investigating and lives are at stake.
This book starts off with a gruesome premise of a severed head, and in the beginning there are so many characters and timeframes to keep track of. But it's worth it to stick it out - it's a good mystery with seven obvious suspects and one nasty dead man. As the book progresses, we learn why each woman has a particular reason to hate Jamie. It's also a statement of how society treats and values women and how some men can exploit that. This one may not be for everyone but it was a good read and I didn't guess the ending!
