Thanks to the publisher, NetGalley, and LibroFM for eGalley and ALC.

Well I think this one will be best read in Italy with an aperol spritz in hand, but if that’s not possible inside with coffee will do just fine. 

The plot started out slow, but once it started going it moved quickly. I liked the mix of present day and past set in the Villa as well as the inclusion of song and book excerpts from the 1970s setting. 

Chess is a horrible friend so Chessie from Parent Trap is still the best Chess around. 

Overall, if you like thrillers set on vacation, with books, friendship, and questionable motives: this one is for you.
