- 380 pages
It was supposed to be the perfect getaway: Kate and her three best friends, spending a week with their families in a luxurious villa in the south of France. Through the decades they’ve stayed closer than ever, and seven days of drinking crisp French wine and laying out under the dazzling Mediterranean sun is the perfect celebration of their friendship. But soon after arriving, Kate discovers an incriminating text on her husband’s cell phone.
A text revealing that he’s having an affair.
And that the other woman is one of her best friends.
But which one?
Trapped in paradise with no one to trust, Kate is determined to find out who has put her marriage — and a lifelong friendship — in jeopardy. But as she closes in on the truth, she realizes that the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Everyone on the trip has secrets…and someone may be prepared to kill to keep theirs hidden.
My Take:
I will certainly be looking for another from this author.
There were several elements of mystery. Each family has secrets, and then Kate is trying to work out which of her friends is having an affair with her husband. Some times relationships become fraught and the tensions come over well.
A good read.
My rating: 4.5

It's just hard for me to imagine that men can inhabit a woman's mind. And, I have to admit, vice versa. I was just about to order this when I read your info about the writer. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThere are many male writers who present a female point of view quite successfully and I think this one does it quite well. It came as a surprise to me when I realised after reading it that the author was a man.
