A review by kajh23
The Villa by Rachel Hawkins

4.0

3.5 stars but rounding up. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3/4s of this story. I feel that Hawkins simply tried too hard to be clever at the end. The final twist was unnecessary and I would have felt more of a connection with the main female characters without it.

Ending aside! …. This is a fun, twisty gothic-esque mystery set in a lovey Italian villa. An interesting look at female best friends, toxic relationships, fame, and the life of artists.
