Thanks to Netgalley and MIRA book for a digital copy I read along with an audiobook from the library.

Claire is a talented painter who has tamed her image to be with Jack Compton, a member of one of the world's wealthiest and most influential families. When they land on his family's private Italian island for their exclusive wedding things start to go sideways. A dead body turns up and it appears someone is trying to sabotage this union. But as the story progresses you find out everyone has something to hide and even what you think is the truth can be easily manipulated. This book is layered and fast paced and once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. I will say I wasn't completely shocked by the ending, but I still really liked it.
