10 posts | 8 read | 17 to read
On glittering Capri, anything can be a mirage. And no one holds a grudge like family. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters comes an electrifying thriller about an opulent family retreat to Italy thats shattered by the resurfacing of a decades-old crime. In 1992 Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarahs death is ruled an accident. And every year, the family returns to prove its true. But on the thirtieth anniversary of Sarahs death, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find a surprise waiting for themthe necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. Haunted by the specter of that night, the legendary Lingate family unity is pushed to a breaking point, and Helen seizes the opportunity. Enlisting the help of Lorna Moreno, a family assistant, the two plot their escape from Helens paranoid, insular family. But when Lorna disappears and the investigation into Sarahs death is reopened, Helen has to confront the fact that everyone who was on Capri thirty years ago remains a suspecther controlling father Richard, rarely-lucid aunt Naomi, distant uncle Marcus, and their circle of friends, visitors, and staff. Even Lorna, her closest ally, may not be who she seems. As long-hidden secrets about that night boil to surface, one thing becomes clear: not everyone will leave the island alive.

1. I do carry cash for small transactions. Recently had a Lyft driver who I tipped in cash.
2. Boy does money affect these characters, a group of manipulative liars!

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know it‘s not the best sign when I keep bumping up the playback speed because I‘m ready for the audiobook to be over. I couldn‘t really connect to these characters for some reason, but I liked the Italian atmosphere and was curious enough about the resolution not to bail. The ending was twisty! 🎧

Well, daaamn!!! I did not expect all the twists this book had in store for me. Probably the most fun read I‘ve encountered this year, so far!

I really think it is best to go into this book as blind as you can and just enjoy the ride!

If you love family dramas with murder and lots of secrets thrown in the mix, PICK THIS ONE UP!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Out today! #arc #NetGalley

I love starting a new book before bed! #arc

BittersweetBooks I think I‘m the opposite because if I‘m too sleepy, I don‘t remember what I read the next morning. And if I just started a book, the characters and plot haven‘t made a big enough impression yet and I end up starting over. Does that make any sense?? 😴 1mo
Amor4Libros @BittersweetBooks Yes, that makes sense! That happens to me sometimes, too. I could be in the middle of the story, but if I l‘m too sleepy, I have to go back the next day 😅 1mo
BittersweetBooks @Amor4Libros haha okay glad I‘m not alone! It‘s the worst. But I do love the excitement of starting a new book 🤗 1mo
DimeryRene Oh, I do too. Makes me excited to wake up in the morning and read. 1mo
Amor4Libros @DimeryRene Yes, it‘s the best! 😊 1mo

Out next year, I received a digital arc from the publisher via NetGalley. This is everything I dislike in a thriller - rich people behaving badly and not a single likable, sympathetic character (no one to root for). The worst part? I couldn‘t put it down. It‘s a well-written tabloid train wreck and I could not turn away from it. I needed answers and I had to see how the drama played out. Kudos to Hays for keeping me hooked!

DGRachel Also, this is my August #bookspin. I finally read one in the right month. 😂 @TheAromaofBooks 8mo
