A slow start, and a deeply unappealing group of characters, but The Vipers was an absorbing story.
Our primary focus is the wealthy Lingate family and what happens on their annual retreat to Capri. While the story is exploring the disappearance of the family’s assistant, Lorna, integral to the plot is the much earlier mystery surrounding the suspicious death of Sarah Lingate.
It’s safe to say that nobody is quite what they first appear to be. Secrets aplenty, and some truly treacherous behaviour. We do, eventually, get answers to the many mysteries permeating the novel. It might not be to everyone’s tastes, but it will have its share of fans.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this prior to publication.
