I really liked the setting and narration and the premise of the book. Also, if you read in print she has an anagram in each chapter so readers can play along. I think that if you are really into puzzles and like figuring out clues as you go through a book then you will probably really enjoy this. My biggest issue was that I knew who the murderer was going to be as soon as everyone arrived at the house. Further events in the book just solidified that for me. The other mystery in the book, what happened to Lily's Mom, wasn't clear until about 25% of the way in but I guessed that as well (without trying). My main reason for reading this was that it takes place at Christmas and I was more in the mood for a murder mystery than a romance. From that standpoint it was an enjoyable listen but if you are looking for a complex mystery that keeps you guessing this might not work.
