Loose Lips by Kemper Donovan
5.0
Another fabulous book. I have a thing for mysteries that happen on boats (and I have no idea why because I really don't like boats at all). I think it just adds another awesome layer to the locked-room mystery.... everyone is stuck together on a floating vessel with no where to run or hide or go about their normal lives. It really ramps up the tension and drama in the best ways. This book was extra fun and eccentric because it was full of female writers who are ready for drama and boy do they get it! This author writes incredible and vivid characters that you can't help but enjoy reading about. Everyone is flawed, even the narrator MC (who I adore) who acknowledges this and is trying to become less of a loner, someone afraid to make true connections in fear of being left behind, because this is just so relatable.
I was completely ensnared and did not want to put this book down. I also love the conversation about how romance books are sneered at by so many because they are something that are mostly loved by women. I feel this is very similar with cozy mysteries as well.
Because I am an extremely untrusting person, I had an idea about the reveal, mostly because I suspect literally everyone, but it definitely still shocked me when it all came out. I love the way this mystery was woven together by the author.
I already cannot wait for more!
Thanks to the publisher for a free ARC; my thoughts and my review are my own.
