3.5/5 stars
The cover and the synopsis is watch convinced me to read this book. The prologue started out so good pulling me right in. But then the pace slowed down a little too much for my liking. It took too long for the story to get back where the prologue left off but it did pick back up eventually. It was told from two POV, Emily and Scott (the boss). I loved the writing style and the setting (France and the Estate were beautiful). I connected really well with Emily and felt like I was inside her head. Emily kept noticing small details that seemed out of place and that is what really kept me reading. As things were being revealed I had to know what secrets they were hiding. But the ending fell a little flat for me. After the big secret was revealed I would have liked to see what happened to the characters a little more than what was told.
Overall I really enjoyed it. The writing and the plot were well written but I was wanting more throughout the entire book. I wish there was more to the ending and I would have loved to learn more about Emily’s childhood as well as a POV for Nina. For those reasons I could not give it 4 stars. This would be a good read for someone just getting into thrillers
