Summary

From the Amazon #1 bestselling author

A murdered guest. A villa full of secrets. One night that changes everything.

Recently divorced Cerys thought buying a luxury Tuscan villa would be the fresh start she so desperately needed. But a year later, she's struggling to move on from the pain of her past. Determined to make Villa Lucia a success, she's pinned all her hopes on this season's guests. Until one of them is found murdered in the villa's infinity pool.

Now, as the police descend on the property, the secrets of her guests begin to unravel, and Cerys is forced to confront her own demons. But can she uncover the truth about that fateful night before the paradise she’s built shatters around her?

Once you start listening, you won't be able to stop until you've uncovered the shocking truth hidden within the walls of this seemingly perfect Tuscan villa. Fans of The Housemaid, T.M. Logan and Gone Girl will be utterly gripped by this addictive, twisty, psychological thriller from multimillion-copy bestselling author Simon McCleave.

Brilliant story!

Realistic characters, believable storyline & a lovely setting (only negative is Zoe's (& sometimes Lowri's) soppy voice

Enjoyable

Not really a standout book but was a pleasurable listen. Narrator good. Lengthy ending though and could have finished earlier

Decent whodunnit and whydunnit

The story certainly does a good job in positioning the guy in the pool as someone you really think deserved it! Then to work out the who and the why and it's an engaging tail, particularly enoyed the tying up at the end.

As an avid follower of Simon McCleave's books I thought it might be interesting to try this new stand alone. seriously, don't ever upset Mr McCleave, he has ways of making people disappear ! Brilliant writing as always, and I can assure any woman out there will love this book and it's twists, which will give you a great deal of satisfaction at the end. x
