I love books about writers, so this cozy mystery rom-com genre blend was right up my alley.

When a famous author invites two mystery writers to her mansion, the story becomes a locked-room escape mystery to solve before someone dies. Imagine if the Clue game were a rom-com with so much romantic tension, banter, and lots of insightful, poignant lines.

I love it when books are clever on top of everything else they offer, and Carter’s book was so smart, without detracting from the romance. *A bit of language, but still closed door.

From Andra's list on clean romance books with top-notch banter and humor.
