Full review on my blog, The Golden Library.

I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, I love the cover, it’s beautiful, but I feel like it has a very different atmosphere from the book itself. I could imagine the cover on a romance, but it doesn’t really scream “mystery with disappearance, murder, maffia, alcohol poisoning and suicide attempt” for me.

If I had only two words to summarise the plot, I’d say “too much”. I understand this is a mystery, but it felt like there were too many sideplots, too many secrets, too many twists, too many connections. I finished reading the book, and honestly, I still have SO MANY QUESTIONS about several of the minor plotlines.

My rating: 📱📱📱/5.
