This story was a rough. Two POVs in the story; one reliable and one not.
One POV is a young lawyer too busy to take a vacation?!? lol
One POV is a formerly very rich heiress trying to navigate life as just a normal rich woman.
I’m not even sure what happened at the end??? Sigh.

Katherine Wood's (aka @thekatwritesbooks and Katherine St. John) writes an addictive and suspenseful mystery that plays with your perceptions from start to finish.
Ladykiller is part thriller, part character study, part romance, and it plunges into an opulent world where secrets run deep and friendships are tested under the sun-drenched skies of Greece.
When Gia returns to Greece after her father's death to prepare the estate for sale she mysteriously disappears. Gia's childhood friend, Abby, and younger brother, Benny, embark on a tense search to uncover what really happened. Abby and Benny's journey takes them from Sweden—where Gia fails to show up for a birthday vacation—to the eerily quiet Greecian beachfront property where they once spent a life-changing summer.
All that remains is Gia’s explosive manuscript, a firsthand account that veers between confessional and conspiratorial. But as Abby and Benny dig deeper, nothing is quite as it seems.
What I Loved:
• The alternating perspectives and clever use of Gia’s manuscript keep the reader guessing about the reliability of each narrator.
• The characters’ complex backstories create an intriguing interplay of loyalty, jealousy, and regret.
What I Disliked:
• The ending. WTF.
