Young Adult Cozy Mystery

Date Published: 6/23/25

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

College student Sara Donovan is in the homestretch of graduating when a mysterious package arrives with an invitation to an exclusive contest. One that will drastically change the winner’s life. Included are unsettling photographs from forgettable chapters in her life and a threatening note strongly suggesting she participate.

With no good options, Sara enters the contest and finds herself at a fabulous mansion up against eight formidable opponents, each with a dark secret and all racing to solve seven levels of riddles and puzzles.

After a contestant’s body is discovered, Sara contemplates dropping out when another package arrives, its chilling contents making clear she’s at the center of a dangerous game with deadly consequences if she quits. But what it doesn’t say is—what happens if she wins?

Review

I'm used to a slow build with novels, especially ones like this, but this novel really did start strong and keep that the whole way through.

B.T. Polcari created a Mystery that keeps the reader invested and guessing.

If you are a fan of unpredictable Mysteries that will keep you guessing, this is definitely for you. Polcari does a great job of giving you clues and letting you solve it along with Sara. Even though, you may have it wrong in the end, or will you?
