On glittering Capri, anything can be a mirage. And no one holds a grudge like family. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters comes an electrifying thriller about an opulent family retreat to Italy thats shattered by the resurfacing of a decades-old crime. In 1992 Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarahs death is ruled an accident. And every year, the family returns to prove its true. But on the thirtieth anniversary of Sarahs death, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find a surprise waiting for themthe necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. Haunted by the specter of that night, the legendary Lingate family unity is pushed to a breaking point, and Helen seizes the opportunity. Enlisting the help of Lorna Moreno, a family assistant, the two plot their escape from Helens paranoid, insular family. But when Lorna disappears and the investigation into Sarahs death is reopened, Helen has to confront the fact that everyone who was on Capri thirty years ago remains a suspecther controlling father Richard, rarely-lucid aunt Naomi, distant uncle Marcus, and their circle of friends, visitors, and staff. Even Lorna, her closest ally, may not be who she seems. As long-hidden secrets about that night boil to surface, one thing becomes clear: not everyone will leave the island alive.

Out next year, I received a digital arc from the publisher via NetGalley. This is everything I dislike in a thriller - rich people behaving badly and not a single likable, sympathetic character (no one to root for). The worst part? I couldn‘t put it down. It‘s a well-written tabloid train wreck and I could not turn away from it. I needed answers and I had to see how the drama played out. Kudos to Hays for keeping me hooked!
