Lost points for centering cryptocurrency as a plot device

    When Breanna, a woman of color, goes to an Airbnb in another state, where a white woman is missing, for a vacation with her boyfriend, Ty, she ends up finding a dead body and Ty is nowhere to be found. Internet sleuths are on the case, but that's not always a good thing, especially when you have a Black man suspected of killing a white woman, and a Black woman is the only one left to tell the tale.
 
     I enjoyed the book a lot. It had a great fast pace. But I did figure out one of the mysteries early, though others were harder for me to figure out. The book was much better than if it had been a white couple at the Airbnb, the racial elements added additional tension and a more complex narrative.
    While I'm a consumer of things like true crime books and podcasts, I am disgusted by murder tourism and everyone thinking they can be a detective with zero training. I think civilians can do certain things like going through documents to find things and then bring them to the attention of qualified people. We shouldn't be confronting people we suspect of crimes or bombing their social media with hate before even the police have announced the criminal much less, they are convicted. I think this book tackled those topics well.
 
 Narrator Rating: 4.75 stars
  The narrator did an excellent job! I wish there'd been more tonal shifts for different characters when they talked. 

Bree goes on a weekend getaway with her new boyfriend (Ty), who she doesn’t know as well as she should because that would mean getting closer and revealing things about herself too–including the arrest that changed the trajectory of her life and ended her friendship with her former best friend (Adore). So when Adore pops up like a blast from the past to come to her aid, them pairing up to unravel the mystery also leads to them unraveling their fallout. I thought I knew where the plot was going and was humbled the entire way. The synopsis doesn’t do the plot twists justice. I didn’t eat this book up, it ate ME up.
