This is a story about a woman whose father left her and her mother when she was young to start a cocoa plantation in Ecuador. He has now passed and it is time to go collect her inheritance. And that’s when the story gets wild, there is murder, secret children, affairs, secret identities, and lies oh so many lies. This book was straight up like a Telenovela, it was twists and turns every step of the way and I loved it! I hate when I can predict a story, especially in a murder mystery, but I did not have a clue who did what until the very end. It was such an interesting nov and I highly recommend it. It had me gasping out loud , all the characters had a secret or two.
