Please Enjoy Your Stay

Summary: After a true crime podcast reopens her cousin’s murder case, a woman must confront her past at a glamorous European castle-turned-hotel where she follows a trail of toxic family secrets and deadly lies.

When they were teenagers, Mia’s beloved cousin was murdered during their stay at an infamous castle in the Austrian Alps. As the only witness, Mia’s testimony put the killer behind bars, but it tore her life apart: the media accused her aunt, a controversial true crime author, of being involved. Now, a decade later, the murderer is appealing his conviction, and a popular true crime podcast starts covering the case, determined to exonerate him, and resurfacing lies about Mia’s family in the process.

Desperate to protect her aunt—and what she knows to be the truth—Mia returns to Austria. The castle is being revamped as a luxury hotel, and Mia gets a job as a nanny for the new owner, hiding in plain sight as she investigates, needing to set the story straight once and for all. But after someone mysteriously disappears on the property and sinister new evidence emerges regarding her cousin’s death, she realizes she might have accused the wrong man…and put her own life in danger.

 

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I was really excited about this book- I love a book that has a podcast angle to it!

But….

This book was just ok.

A little rant: I know Mia was not a private investigator or anything.. but she would find these clues and then just seem haphazardly putting them in places and then being all surprised that her bag was missing or someone had rifled through her belongings….

What I liked:

The cover!

The podcast angle!

I liked how the notebooks from the past was weaved into the story!

 

Bottom line: With Mia and her mishandling of the evidence she finds, and  the overabundance of ghostly mentions… this book floated somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars.
