Ellery is alone at an exclusive, isolated California resort where she would have been spending her 20th wedding anniversary with her husband who is now her ex. Her best friend is unavailable this weekend, so Ellery chose to go alone rather than let the nonrefundable reservations be used by her ex and his new girlfriend. Ellery finds herself missing her children and grieving the loss of her marriage, exacerbated by the fact that a wedding will be taking place while she is there.
Ellery goes for an early morning swim and discovers the body of the groom in the pool. Meanwhile, it's been raining a lot and mudslides have made the resort inaccessible to the police. And the electric generators are struggling. Cellphones are not getting any signals. And then someone else is found dead.
Ellery teams up with a couple of others to try to figure out who the murderer could be. But because she and the others stuck at the resort don't know if they can trust anyone, it makes for a tricky situation. Fast read.
