I picked this up as a Hoopla Bonus Borrow and found it very interesting. On her journey from Spain to Equador to hear her father's will, Puri's husband (Christopher) is murdered by an assassin. Immediately suspicious of the siblings she's never met, Puri pretends to be her husband, saying that Puri was the one who died on the boat. The story is a little slow going, with a gigantic cast of characters who were hard to keep separate. I saw half of the twist coming, but it took an unexpected turn with the who and the why. I'm looking forward to the reading the sequel at some point.
