"A clever, witty, and fast-paced whodunit." —Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author A Reese's Book Club Pick! Ellery Wainwright is alone at the edge of the world. She and her husband, Luke, were supposed to spend their twentieth wedding anniversary together at the luxurious Resort at Broken Point in Big Sur, California.

To add insult to injury, there’s a wedding at Broken Point scheduled during her stay. Ellery remembers how it felt to be on the cusp of everything new and wonderful, with a glimmering future just ahead. Now, she isn’t certain of anything except for her love for her kids and her growing realization that this place, though beautiful, is unsettling. When Ellery discovers the dead groom, she realizes that she is not the only one whose future is no longer guaranteed. Before the police can reach Broken Point, a mudslide takes out the road to the resort, leaving the guests trapped. When another guest dies, it’s clear something horrible is brewing. Everyone at Broken Point has a secret. And everyone has a shadow. Including Ellery. Read more

    • Beautiful Scenery...But SOOOO Slow....
Format: Hardcover
The Unwedding is a mix of amateur sleuthing, mystery, and suspense, all set against the backdrop of a luxurious resort in Big Sur. With elements of a locked-room and cozy-type mystery, the setting is spectacular – and captivated me from the start. Condie paints the surroundings so well that you can almost hear the waves and feel the tension in the storm. For audiobook fans, the included PDF map of the resort is a cool bonus, and helps to immerse you even further into the setting. Unfortunately, the character development and pacing is lackluster. Ellery, the protagonist, is a recently divorced single mom who is at the resort alone and becomes stranded after a mudslide isolates the guests. She is kind and sweet but is constantly struggling with her past trauma—both from her marriage and a tragic accident. While this backstory provides depth, it also renders her character more passive than proactive. I found her internal dialog to be overly whiny at times, especially when placed alongside the urgency of the murder mystery plot. As a trauma counselor, I appreciate that Condie made a strong effort to explore the complexities of grief and loss through Ellery. However, in this was just the wrong setting for it and it went on way too long. Her constant dwelling on the past seemed to overshadow the forward momentum of the plot. While imperfect protagonists can add depth, Ellery's emotional struggles felt mismatched with the story’s pace, making her less suited for the demands of this suspenseful narrative. I thought the plot started strong, but it gradually loses momentum, and then bottoms out completely. What begins as a tense, engaging mystery gets bogged down by unnecessary dialogue and side plots that don’t push the story forward. There’s a sense that Condie, got a little lost in her beautiful setting and left the main plot to fizzle out instead of intensifying. The ending felt rushed to me and was overloaded with information—some of which didn't seem to tie into the final resolution. Key details were thrown in without enough explanation or connection to the story’s earlier developments. This is definitely a visually rich and atmospheric read that may appeal to fans of cozy mysteries and isolated settings, but its uneven pacing, boring characters and overwhelming conclusion left me unsatisfied. Honestly, I couldn’t wait for it to end. ... show more

    • Who will solve the crime?
Format: Kindle
Ellery, recently divorced, is taking her anniversary trip by herself, to Big Sur. At the resort there was also a wedding that was taking place. Ellery befriends two people who are vacationing there, and at first they let her in on their vacation antics, but it soon turns into them trying to solve a crime. The groom is found dead and everyone is a suspect. Then one of the groomsmen turns up dead, and there is a mudslide preventing them from leaving the resort. I felt this story did drag quite a bit in the beginning, I did listen to the audible version and loved the narrators. ... show more

    • I recommend this book
Format: Kindle
The Unwedding is a murder mystery… and so much more. Having never read one of her books before I don’t know if this is normal for Condie; she throws out a lot of red herrings which insures a literary maze-like experience. As I mentioned the book is so much more than a murder mystery to me. First are the richly developed characters and second is the beautiful setting and third is the use of art and narrative to frame the story. I hope you will read it and like it as much as I do. ... show more

    • I think it would work better as a TV show or movie
Format: Kindle
The setup and setting of this novel were promising--a woman dealing with unexpected divorce in Big Sur. However, this book quickly bogged down into so much detail, my head was spinning. There are so many guests/suspects, and so many descriptions---this isn't a quote, but things like "Steve went down the path to the waterfall holding the sculpture while Joe and Beth put on their rain ponchos, split off to the right and went to look for the dog, and Jemima stayed behind at the hotel to interview Bridget the maid." I had trouble holding all the various characters in my head and frankly, didn't care that much about who killed who. I think this book would work better as a limited TV series or movie, where you could see all the characters and "show" what's happening instead of "telling" the reader what's happening. (Kind of a "Glass Onion" thing.) But as a written work, it didn't work for me. ... show more

    • good beginning
Format: Kindle
I thought the beginning and set up good, kept my attention and I was intrigued… but then it fell apart and completely unraveled in end. I skipped last two chapters because I was over all the blah wrapping up. It was drawn out and boring. The middle was long and I just wanted to get to the who done it part, and when it finally got there it was all just conjecture of everyone in a blubbery mess of confusion. And I was over it at that point, this not reading the numerous chapters afterward that drone on for wrap up. ... show more

    • The Unwedding
Format: Kindle
This was certainly a book with many twists and turns. It took until the end to find out, who killed who. There was a variety of personalities, in the characters. It was interesting how they became, friends for life! I loved the Big Sur area for the many landslides, it has had, to make it cut off from everything. It was believable! ... show more

    • fun read, but alcohol shaming?
Format: Kindle
There was a lot of subtle alcohol shaming in this book, ie people who drank also were judged, or did bad things, and sober people were viewed in a positive light. I googled about halfway through and yep, the writer is Mormon. It was very clear while reading that there was a bias.
