⭐⭐⭐💫 (rounding up for ratings)
Let's start this with, I've been having problems concentrating bc there was a death very close to me. I've been dealing with lots of paperwork and belongings. And of course feelings. So this may have effected my feelings about the book too.
This book was #cultrelated. 4 girls found dead within 20 miles of a NYS Finger Lakes rehab/retreat. One actress, Liv, goes there to get rest and away from "her pills" and the current disaster that is her life. Yoga, microbiotic food and other New Age treatments are included. But one local lady she meets thinks there is a connection between the deaths and the retreat. So she looks into it and starts a real crime podcast.
The way the podcast was shown into the book was well done. The italics made it easy to recognize. The book itself was written in first person. And so was the podcast. This is one of the first almost #cozymystery in which the stupid girl did not find herself in trouble. That was a nice change. The book for some reason did not keep me attached to the story. Thus the kind of low-ish rating but higher rounding. If you have ever been to the Finger Lakes, you might enjoy it just for the mentions of the particular towns, features and lakes mentioned. I know I liked that part.
