bibliotequeish's review against another edition
4.0
Emily is not doing well, her husband left her and is now suing her for more than he is entitled to. Her career is stalling as she struggles to write her next book and an unknown illness keeps her in a constant state of worry. So when her best “frenemy” invites her for a summer at an Italian Villa to get away and focus on her writing, Emily can’t say no.
But Houses Remember, and this house remembers long buried and deadly secrets.
Secrets that Emily is determined to uncover.
This book kept me interested.
I love a dual timeline story and uncovering this mystery along with Em was really fun. The ending is so dark and twisted and perfectly full circle

I was surprised by how much I liked both timelines in this story. There is one hand-wavy plot point I didn’t like but not bad
