Two families. One house swap. A vacation to die for.
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find a photograph that shatters everything…
Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded but I’d recognise him anywhere. The man is my husband.
But we’ve never met the family we’ve swapped homes with and my husband swears it isn’t him in the photo. He’s lying. We argue on the balcony with the sun setting behind us and I storm out.
When I finally calm down enough to go back to the villa to confront him, I find him sprawled across the veranda… dead.
Why would someone kill my husband? Am I in danger? And how well did I really know the man I married?
MY REVIEW:
The Family Holiday by Shalini BolandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Two families. One house swap. A vacation to die for.
Niall mentions a vacation to Beth and they decide to swap houses with the Masons, Amber and Renzo.. Niall and Beth are from the uk, the Masons from Italy.
I found from the very beginning that Niall was a selfish asshole and I did not like him at all and that Beth needed to get a backbone.
I also found Amber to be quite the bitch and I liked Renzo.
Beth and Niall's boys seemed to be more selfish than most teenage boys as well but I seemed to like Amber's and Renzo's children.
Then you add in Beth's nosy neighbor and the waitress that Beth and Nialll met and that leaves us wondering what is really going on. As I kept reading I was wondering what part they played in all of what was going on.
Beth finds a photo of Niall's and Amber in a pocket of a coat and confronts Niall but she doesn't believe what he is saying.
Later that night Beth finds Niall dead as he had fallen off the balcony and she realizes that their vacation is really over.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for the book to review.
