Lädt ... The Writing Retreat: A Novel (Original 2023; 2023. Auflage)von Julia Bartz (Autor)
Werk-InformationenThe Writing Retreat von Julia Bartz (2023)    Books Read in 2022 (525) Mystery & Detective (163) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  spiritedstardust | Jun 1, 2024 |   This debut novel is well written, combining vivid imagery, interesting characters and plot twists. It's only fault is that it is told from the point of view of the least interesting character, whiny Alex. I would have enjoyed it more if it was told from the pov of a more flawed character, preferably the elusive Roza. (  ) Chrissylou62 | Apr 11, 2024 | As for The Writing Retreat - ooh, this is a good one. A lot of good twists and turns in this as we follow five budding authors who have been hand-picked by the renowned author, Roza Vallo, to join her for a month-long retreat at her extremely secluded estate. During the month, the young women will start and finish a new novel and the best one will be published and the author will receive $1M. Easy-peasy. At least until one of the five go missing, a dungeon is found, and things are simply not what they seem to be. There is a lot to unpack in The Writing Retreat; there is murder, mayhem, lots of emotional baggage, sex, drugs, and deceit - all the elements are there and Julia Bartz weaves them into a believable, fun, and easy-to-read story. I actually carved out additional reading time for this one. Well done, Julia Bartz! (  ) LyndaWolters1 | Apr 3, 2024 |  ) Dokfintong | Feb 8, 2024 | A group of young women writers are invited to attend an exclusive writing retreat at the remote estate of a best-selling author, and things slowly begin to go south. Billed as supernatural (think "The Haunting of Hill House"), it's more a psychological drama, and most of the characters are so unlikeable that it's hard to care about them. Things move from unlikely to oh-come-on - seriously? (I'm still wondering how the Chief Villain managed to plan for the mid-February blizzard that finalizes their isolation.)

Bunch of women shack up in a house, hook up and write books whilst slowly getting killed one by one.
I CANNOT with characters who KNOW they are going to die, but when given MULTIPLE chances to kill their captors, do not do so. Ridiculous. (
