I really enjoyed this book - it's a quick read filled with suspense amidst the beautiful beaches of the south of France. The last 25% of the book goes from twist to twist, keeping the reader on her toes. Perfect for COVID quarantine times when we all wish we could jet off to an exotic location!
Emily is the sort of character you read about in a lot of thrillers - smart but aimless, with a troubled past, still waiting for her life to really start. And it does when she makes a deal with Scott to care for his daughter Aurelia. But something's just not right with Aurelia or her mother Nina. In between the main action, we get flashbacks that help bring the story to its conclusion. The author did a great job building up the spooky/creepy/something's not right here tone, and I was waiting for the big reveal!
