V. A. Vazquez
A darkly twisted debut thriller for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll. At an annual retreat for the adult children of serial killers, paranoia turns deadly when one of the guests is murdered.
Nicola Fischer’s father has just been convicted of killing five women - including her best friend. Shunned by her town and obsessed with the true-crime host who exposed him, Nicola jumps at the chance to join the Death Row Club: a secretive weekend getaway for people exactly like her.
But when an unexpected guest arrives at their remote wilderness retreat, tensions flare. By morning, one of them is dead.
And everyone is asking the same question:
If the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…which one of them is a killer?

Overall, I enjoyed the book. The story was engaging for the most part, and the writing was descriptive, thought‑provoking, and creative. There were several passages and moments of intimate dialogue that almost read like song lyrics. Truly brilliant!
The twists kept twisting, and they were cleverly crafted, which I definitely enjoyed.
My only issue was that it could have been clearer at times. I’d have enjoyed it more if the flashbacks and real‑time scenes were more clearly defined. I kept getting confused about what was a flashback and what was happening in the present, and I had to listen to certain passages multiple times, particularly chapters 30–36.
I appreciated the sapphic/wlw inclusion, and the characters in general were well developed. I also enjoyed the split timeline and multiple POVs.
I listened to the audio, which is very well narrated. I’m a massive fan of Stephanie Németh‑Parker, and her voice suits both the character and the genre perfectly.
A unique spin on the genre!
