You’re Invited was my July BOTM pick. It was a really fun mystery that I had a hard time putting down.
Things kick off when Amaya gets invited to the lavish wedding of her ex-best friend…who is marrying Amaya's ex-boyfriend. She flies home to Sri Lanka to stop the wedding, but when the bride goes missing, everything goes off the rails. I really enjoyed the overall plot and I probably guessed every single character could have done it within the first 100 pages. I’ve started texting my husband my official theory about half way through reading a mystery to…show I can’t solve mysteries. But I was mostly right this time! And the solution was very satisfying!
My only complaint is that there was a lot of repetition in the first half. Amaya kept saying the same thing over and over and it was slightly frustrating. It slowed things down and took me out of the story some. All that went away in the break-neck final third though. I couldn’t wait to get to the end! I wanted to know everything!!
