A remote hotel. A murder mystery. A missing woman. Everyone has a role
to play, but what's real and what's part of the game?
"Jilly Gagnon's well-crafted maze of clues and shifting realities is
the perfect read for fans of Lucy Foley."--Wendy Walker, bestselling
author of All Is Not Forgotten
The weekend getaway at a gorgeous hotel should have been perfect. But
Becca is smarting from her husband Blake's betrayal and knows that the
trip is just an expensive apology attempt. Still, the drinks are strong,
and the weekend has an elaborate 1920s murder mystery theme. She decides
to get into the spirit and enjoy their stay.
Before long, the game is afoot: Famed speakeasy songstress Ida Crooner
is found "murdered," and it's up to the guests to sniff out the culprit.
Playing the role of Miss Debbie Taunte, an ingenue with a dark past,
Becca dives into the world of pun-heavy clues, hammy acting, and secret
passages, hoping to take her mind off her marital troubles.
Then, the morning after they arrive, the actress playing Ida's maid
fails to reappear for her role. Everyone assumes she flaked out on the
job, but when snooping for clues as "Debbie," Becca finds evidence that
the young woman may not have left of her own free will.
Told over a nail-biting forty-eight hours and interspersed with in-game
clues, set pieces, and character histories from the flapper-filled
mystery nested inside a modern one, All Dressed Up is a loving tribute
to classic whodunits and a riveting exploration of the secrets we keep.
