'Absorbing, intelligent and atmospheric... Genius' Elizabeth Haynes _________________________ Fortune favours the fraud... When she was thirteen years old, Ada Howell lost not just her father, but the life she felt she was destined to lead. Now, at eighteen, Ada is given a second chance when her wealthy godmother gifts her with an extravagant art history trip to Italy. In the palazzos of Venice, the cathedrals of Florence and the villas of Rome, she finally finds herself among the kind of people she aspires to be: sophisticated, cultured, privileged. Ada does everything in her power to prove she is one of them. And when a member of the group dies in suspicious circumstances, she seizes the opportunity to permanently bind herself to this gilded set. But everything hidden must eventually surface, and when it does, Ada discovers she's been keeping a far darker secret than she could ever have imagined... 'Intelligent, elegant and immersive' Claire Kendal 'A compulsive story, written with steely intelligence and wicked prose' Elizabeth Buchan

When Ada Howell died, she didnt adjust well.
She didnt so much as grieve for him as for the entitled lifestyle, social standing and privileges she has lost.
No luxuries or fun things and she feels cheated!
Struggling to cope with a dull, humdrum life when hwe godmother offers to pay for an art course in Italy.
Then one night to gain the students trust she freely offers to cover up a dreadful crime that resulted in another student's death.

I really enjoyed the style of writing, it‘s beautifully and eloquently scripted. The story itself, however, is a slow burner and quite unusual. I loved the beginning, it really drew me in and then I started to find it a tad tedious. It could be that it was a little too arty for me. The characters were well drawn but so shallow, I didn‘t take to any of them. It didn‘t quite hit the spot for me ultimately. #Pigeonhole
