5.0

Welcome to Capri, where glitz and secrets collide!

Dive into a gripping thriller about a family's opulent Italian retreat shadowed by a 30-year-old tragedy.

In 1992, Sarah Lingate's mysterious death at Capri’s cliffs left behind her daughter Helen. Despite suspicions of foul play, it was ruled an accident. Thirty years later, the Lingates return to the island, only to find Sarah’s necklace waiting for them—creepy, right?

As old secrets surface, Helen and family assistant Lorna hatch a daring escape plan. But when Lorna vanishes, Helen must face her twisted family and confront the truth about that fateful night.

Not everyone will leave the island alive. Ready to uncover the mystery?

WOW!!!! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the description and cover had me hooked right from the start. This book needs to be turned into a movie or series ASAP! The flashbacks, from Sarah’s POV and others, were incredibly elite, like peeling back layers of a mystery onion. The suspense kept me guessing with so many potential suspects and twists that had me on the edge of my seat. The beautiful setting of Capri added an extra layer of intrigue.

This book has everything—an insane plot, rich characters, and an ending that left me speechless. The writing was top tier, and every page had me wanting more and it was giving! Just wow! 10/10!!!! It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions and mystery that you won’t be able to put down. I promise you!
