The Writing Retreat
by Julia Bartz
What's the story?: Thirty-year-old Alex dreams of being a writer. Stuck in a job she hates, Alex jumps at the chance to take part in a writing retreat held at the reclusive Blackbriar estate. However, once the retreat begins, Roza throws the attendees quite a curve-they must each complete a novel from scratch, and the writer who produces the best work will get a million-dollar publishing deal. But when one of the writers disappears, Alex and the others realize there is something nefarious going on. Bartz’s debut is stomach-clenchingly thrilling from beginning to end. Blackbriar and its vivid inhabitants are brought to life by Bartz with consummate skill. Alex is beautifully flawed; readers will connect with her in multiple ways. The plot is psychologically jarring and fast paced, with several surprises that will excite even the most well read mystery aficionado.
