Resumen del Editor

Geek girl Lexi Carmichael thought meeting the in-laws would be easy as long as they met on neutral ground and she was fully prepared with a spreadsheet full of etiquette dos and don’ts. But unfortunately for Lexi, things don’t always turn out as she planned.

Meeting the in-laws is a daunting task even for those who are outgoing and socially capable. Since I’m neither, the prospect of meeting Slash’s parents has me scared to death. Somehow, he convinced me it would be easier meeting my in-laws for the first time at his brother’s wedding during Christmas in Italy instead of at our own church wedding in the spring. He also suggested bringing my parents along to meet them, too. That way it would reduce the chance of any unnecessary drama at our nuptials. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong.

When Slash got busy at work, I inherited his responsibility of planning some activities for the wedding party. A mysterious Italian castle, located on an island not far from the wedding venue, and supposedly filled with puzzles and challenges no one has ever been able to solve, caught my eye. Despite being built by a highly reclusive Italian billionaire who rarely permitted anyone other than carefully selected individuals to participate in the castle challenges, my impromptu request for the wedding party to visit the island was accepted.

So, off we go to Italy with my parents in tow. I’m hoping everyone will be too busy talking to each other and enjoying the castle activities to notice me much. But the castle is not all that it seems to be, and suddenly the stakes are a lot higher than expected. Will we survive the challenge as a family, or will there be no escape?

Back to original narrator!

Thank heavens original narrator back. Nothing against last one…have listened to others she’s done and enjoyed but after all the previous books it was jarring.

so much fun

A lot of fun. A chance to get a deeper look at the characters. A different kind of mystery (no murder). excellent narrator.

Slow to start but loved the book

Really interesting story. I love this series and took me a few chapters to get into the story. No violence but the intertwined story really caught my interest and enjoyed every minute of it. Really well written.

Nicely different from the others, heartwarming, cozy

Different and I enjoyed taking my time finishing it. It took me weeks instead of days, the intrigue necessitate closer attention since it's a different kind of action.

Lexie Carmichael mystery

Hope there will be another one included with the wedding in the spring I like these so well third time listening thank you

Wonderful series!

I read all of the books that are on audible so far. Can’t wait for the next one! It is a wonderful series that will keep you wanting more… I could hardly put the books down. The narrator does a wonderful job of bringing the story to life. You feel like you’re actually there. Thanks for writing such a great series Julie!

Too technical gets boring

The first few books in the series were spy type mysteries, with bit of romance and a lot of fun. This book was not. It was too technical with 80% of the time spent on solving the puzzles in a castle and 20% on the people involved. The interaction between characters was mostly related to puzzles they had to solve, but not the charming personal banter /romance that was in the first few books.
