I was proud of myself because I’m trying to read this book all by myself!

Was my summer reading book and I had low expectations going in but I actually enjoyed it! It’s a very dramatic play about the Salem witch trials so it’s fun to see references to actual historical things. It’s also very strong and thematic. The author intended it to compare to the red scare going on at the time of the book, but I think it can be related to really any point in time. Some parts are iffy, but honestly I got hooked by the end!

I hate Mrs.Tifon she is so mean but I love how Skye stood up to her I love it I think everyone should read it

The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!

Cleaver ending ! All the characters get what is coming to them . Wickedly delightful classic husband verse wife. I wish the power of the house was better explained however as the crossroads did not seem to be enough explanation

The beginning of this book was a little slow for me with the technical component. TJR does a great job with completely new subject matter for all of her books but it took me a second to adapt to space plus so many characters. The last 40% was purely amazing. I was crying at the gym literally

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.

I loved this book. I could stop reading, its leaving me eager to start the second. As always this is a classic Rick Riordan book, with all his humor.

This book was absolutely amazing. It didn’t even feel like I was reading anything, it felt like I was living it. When I got to the acknowledgements I almost had an anxiety attack because I suddenly got snapped back into reality. I was super sad when it ended. Definitely recommend

Interesting points on various elements of work. Fascinating bits on various coaches and players by the author.
