From the dust jacket- Jutting from sparkling turquoise waters off the Italian coast, Isle Isola is an idyllic setting for a wedding. In the majestic cliff-top villa owned by the wealthy Compton family, up-and-coming artist Claire Hunter will marry handsome, charming Jack Compton, surrounded by close family, intimate friends…and a host of dark secrets.
From the moment Claire sets foot on the island, something seems amiss. Skeletal remains have just been found. There are other, newer disturbances, too. Menacing texts. A ruined wedding dress. And one troubling shadow hanging over Claire’s otherwise blissful relationship—the strange mystery surrounding Jack’s first wife.
Then a raging storm descends, the power goes out—and the real terror begins…
Review- A fascinating, fast-paced mystery that kept me guessing about who was who and who killed whom the whole way. Claire is going to marry the man of her dreams in his family home on an island off of Italy. But before they can even get there, their home is broken into and a man dies. That’s when the real games begin. This is a very twisty family drama-mystery with lots of plot happening. The characters are interesting, the plot is very tight, and the setting is very atmospheric. You don’t know who to trust, for a while you don’t know the full extent of the villain’s network, and some plot details are not explained but that is okay but the main character does not know them either. I had a very good time with this novel, Ellison does a great job with this novel and I would like to read more by her.
I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
