The Villa. A very confusing book, jumping back and forth between stories, I never could figure out who the murderer was. The book was okay,great to read when you can’t sleep. okay

Dual Timeline Murder Mystery. “Houses Remember” “Does one murder a murder house make?” In this book, there are two points of view in alternating timelines. The present-day story involves two best friends, or frenemies, who grew up together but have grown apart over the years. They are both writers of different genres, and decide to spend the summer together at a villa in Italy to work on their writing. The 1970’s timeline gives me Daisy Jones vibes. A rockstar invites some ‘friends’ to a villa in Italy he rents for the summer to work on an album. Mari, the narrator, is trying to write her first novel, and also keeps a diary of events that summer – which include a famous murder. This is my third book by this author, and in the past, I have felt a lack of connection to her characters. While the characters of The Villa were not particularly loveable, I think I felt more invested in them and their stories. I enjoyed the setting in Italy, the dueling timelines, and the stories within the story. I don’t think this book had quite the shocking twists or thrills of her other novels, but I love a good murder mystery! I was very curious how the two storylines were going to intertwine, and enjoyed the similarities between the two narrators. Although the book was slow to start, I found both stories compelling and finished the last half very quickly. I have some thoughts about the ending, but I think that is consistent with this author! “Inspired by Fleetwood Mac, the Manson Murders, and the infamous summer Percy and Mary Shelley spent with Lord Byron at a Lake Geneva castle – the birthplace of Frankenstein” (Publisher blurb) Thank you @stmartinspress and @netgalley for the ARC!

Sure did not see that coming. Wow! This is the first review I’ve ever written, and I’ve read 1000 books at least. Rachael Hawkins “boat murder” story is unbelievable, and it really caught me off guard. The setting was awesome, I was lulled into the same kind of thinking as the characters in the beginning. What comes next is pretty much indescribable. You’ve got to read this book.

Excellent Read. One of the best books I’ve read in some time. Took less than 24 hrs it was that good!!

Well….. Not the best I’ve read but it did entertain so I guess it served it’s purpose

Not her best. Fragmented and hard to follow.
