A review by marcccb
The Winters by Lisa Gabriele

3.0

I've heard such good ratings about this novel and I've been told that it was a great thriller, but I didn't think it was that much of a thriller. I found it to be more of a domestic drama, maybe even more of a romance. The thrilling part of this book (a very little one) did not come in until the end of the novel which made me a little bit annoyed since I was waiting the entire time for a twist to appear. Not a very shocking twist but it did the trick.

A novel about a woman, who we still don't know the name of even after the novel is over, marries Max Winter and lives with him in his large estate. With a difficult daughter, an ex-wife who is haunting her and family secrets, she tries to find a way into this wealthy world and tries to uncover the secrets that rest in the grounds of the Winter estate.

I know it sound intriguing but I wasn't that hooked. I have to admit that the first sentence of the novel was very interesting to read, but it just didn't have the thriller aspect that I usually look for in a thriller novel. Maybe it's just me, but I do feel that a few more twists could have been added in some places to make the novel a bit more intriguing for me.

That being said, it was still a very enjoyable to read!
