"Gwen Turner has made a bloody mess of her life. She's recently broken up with the best man she's ever known for reasons even she can't admit to herself, and quit a lucrative job in order to pursue her dreams of opening her own coffee shop that's quickly become a bit of a dull nightmare. To top it all off, her best friend is getting married, walking down the aisle and leaving her behind. Everyone seems to be growing up, and moving on without her. Along with too much cheap wine, and bad reality tv, Gwen turns to a dating app to help fill the void in her life. Swiping left and right on what few eligible bachelors there seem to be in town, spending her evenings out on one disastrous first date after another. But when a string of murders begin to happen in her small coastal English city, each of the victims have one thing in common: they've all been on a date with Gwen. Before Gwen knows what's happening, she finds herself the main suspect in a serial killer's murderous spree, and the only way she can clear her name is to track down her former dates (even those that have ghosted her) and unmask a killer before it's too late"--… (altro)

Gwen has recently broken up with her long-term boyfriend. She also gets to watch her best friend prepare for her upcoming nuptials to someone that Gwen can't stand. Feeling out of sorts about everything going on Gwen makes a profile on dating app Connector. Unfortunately, instead of finding a potential partner, Gwen is met with an ever undesirable array of men who are either cheating on their wives, looking for a quick hookup, or just want Gwen to send salacious photos.

Instead of actually helping Gwen move on, Connector app has become more of a curse. This becomes even more apparent when someone begins killing Gwen's dates one by one.

When Gwen is pinned as suspect number one, she decides to take matters into her own hands to figure out who is behind this before they murder everyone on the list.

I like the sort of dark comedic humor that this book encompasses. Definitely a commentary on dating apps and the varied way that people, mainly women, face abuse and harassment yet when something begins happening, in this case, to the men on the app it's cause for alarm.

The story is pretty fast-paced but there's also this kind of chaotic feeling about it kind of like a whirlwind. I felt like there were a lot of secondary elements that are setup and sort of pushed to the side until needed to lend credence to the big reveal. Gwen is much more impulsive in throwing herself into this investigation than I personally would have been considering there is an active murderer on the loose and it made me cringe a few times because every action she took just made her look more and more suspect. Logically, I understand that is the point and there's more beyond that which we aren't privy to until all is said and done, but still it just made for an uneasy read for me.

I do feel like the whirlwind did lend itself well to the twist and turns that mysteries tend to take. It did keep me looking in all directions for who is behind the murders even up to and including the big reveal because the story is setup where it could have easily played out a few different ways. So I can say that I successfully figured it out but also equally unsuccessfully figured it out.

Overall, the book hooked me into its premise and was quick-paced enough with each twist and turn that it was hard to put it down at the end of the day. ( )
