Successful beauty entrepreneur Vivi Savidge is about to celebrate her fortieth birthday at the Palazzo Stellina, a historic former convent in the foothills of the Italian Alps.

Vivi’s little sister is flying in from Brisbane with her sixteen-year-old twins in tow. Her ex-colleague and his new husband are coming from Boston, and old university friend Caroline is driving from Turin. Every one of them is hiding a shameful secret.

Amid a suffocating heatwave, the holiday ignites an explosive cocktail of obsession, jealousy, and greed. Before the week is over, secrets will be exposed and the gathering will turn deadly, leaving one victim, a handful of suspects, and a murderer in their midst.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed reading this book about Vivi who goes to the Italian Alps to celebrate her big 40. Lots of her friends and family are flying in to celebrate with her and she cannot wait, expect nothing is as it seems and each one is hiding something. When things turn from bad to worse, who is to blame and why has one person ended up dead? it was a great story to follow along t, packed full of suspense and intrigue I was blind to who the killer was. The ending was spectacular. This is an author I need more of in my life. Brilliant writing.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
