Thriller/borrowed

A perfect vacation thriller/murder mystery.

A famous movie star named Lana invites some friends over to her Greek Island. Then a murder takes place. The book is narrated by Elliott as he wrote a book about this famous murder. So we get to see how everyone met, how friendly everyone was, who had dated who and so on.

And well...spoilers. I can not say more. Stuff goes down. Most are not that decent human beings.

I enjoyed it. It was a fast read that I did not know where it would take me

This is a tale of murder.

Or maybe that's not quite true. At its heart, it's a love story, isn't it?

One spring morning, reclusive ex-movie star Lana Farrar invites a small group of her closest friends for a weekend away, on her small private island, just off the coast of Mykonos.

Beneath the surface, old friendships conceal violent passions and resentments. And in forty-eight hours, one of them will be dead.

But that was just the beginning...

You may think you know this story. Think again.
