I was immediately drawn in by the synopsis and the book did not disappoint. Rich people acting weird, having secrets, and an unresolved death? Sign me up. I did find myself wishing there was more to it in a way, more description, more suspense, more twists. But it was a fun read nonetheless. I really enjoyed the characters, the ones I liked and the ones I couldn’t stand- which always makes for a better read.

This was a great thriller: rich people with secrets, a missing woman, a 30-year old death left unresolved, all set on the Italian coast. A thriller for people who, like me, devour thrillers. There were some good twists and turns as the story played out, and when I thought I had figured things out, the author turned it back again. I appreciated the writing and plot lines so much for this.

I was surprised by how much I liked both Helen and Lorna. They were such different characters, but both had me rooting for them.

Richard, Freddy, Marcus, and Naomi were gross and awful and I loved to hate them all.

This hit my TBR at just the right time, and I opened it up immediately. Yes, this is exactly what the description says - a fun summer read about rich people behaving badly. Weirdly, though, you will find yourself actually liking many of the characters. If you've been to this area of Italy, Capri, Sorrento, Naples, etc, you'll enjoy the descriptions of the location a bit more. I do think the author could have expounded on the background characters and scenery a bit more to set the stage and to add a bit more fuel to the readers imagination. As it is, it's a fun, straightforward, quick read with no real surprises or twists.

I loved this book and found the premise to be super interesting and relatable to my life. I could see this being a smash hit of the year and I think the author did a great job both setting up and executing the story!
