Rather than go alone, Mimi brings her granddaughter, Addie, along, but the party goes from bad to worse when Jane’s body is found. Trapped inside due to a storm, Addie and Mimi must rely on their skills (crosswords and video game design) to narrow down their suspects; a deductive game that only gets more dangerous as another body is found, all while Mimi holds back her secret.This episode we’re reading This is Not A Game by Kelly Mullen up to but not including Chapter 22: Reading People.TWs/CWs for this book seem to be: Blackmail, murder, gun violence, blood, drugging, attempted poisoningAnd our Socials are:https://twitter.com/5050_bookshttps://www.youtube.com/@5050_Bookshttps://www.goodreads.com/5050_books
