About The Book
My name is Gillian and I have three problems:
- A fallen tree through the roof of my family’s remote island cottage.
- A sister trying to sell said cottage out from under me.
- A dead body in the living room. Sadly, it’s not my sister’s.
Actually, make that four problems: my ex, Amanda, just showed up uninvited. Apparently, she’s a spy, undercover to investigate the luxury wine auction hosted by my conniving sister.
We’ve got no connection to the mainland and a murderer on the island, so tonight Amanda and I have three missions:
- Find the killer
- Stay alive
- Escape by sunrise
Actually, make that four missions: Do not fall in love, because apparently Amanda and I are far from over.
Under Her Roof is part of the Accidentally Undercover shared LGBTQ+ romantic suspense series.
The Review
Allison Temple opens this 6-book series with a bang! Allison is a new-to-me author, but after reading this, I will be following her work more closely!
This interesting whodunnit reminds me of Col Mustard in the Kitchen with a poker – the author’s writing keeps you interested in the game. There’s a large group of people coming to this island home for many reasons, some more nefarious than others.
We begin with a rainy day and five people waiting to hitch a ride on a boat that will take them to an island. They’re chatting amongst themselves as Gillian – whose home they are going to – arrives. They are all strangers to her, and slowly they introduce themselves.
There are two couples and a single older gentleman talking about vintage wines. One of the ladies mentions an auction they are attending. Gillian is only there on her way to Ross Island to talk to her sister, Sloan, who has been dodging her for weeks.
Their father was a famous writer who was found dead in this house on the Island by a contractor who was doing work for him. Murray pulls up at the dock and the five start to leave. Gillian asks if he will wait – she wont be long. He says he will pick her up first thing in the morning, and she agrees.
Gillian meets her father’s two best friends, and then – shockingly – sees her ex Amanda, looking like the goddess she remembered.
The thunderstorm begins, a 200 year old tree is hit by lightning and comes crashing through the roof, and the electricity goes out, leaving the guests all trapped in the wine cellar. Then she finds a dead body.
Now everyone is stuck on the island, in a house with a murderer until morning.
Just like a great game of Clue. A fun read. Five stars.
