Last Night at Villa Lucia by Simon McCleave, Simon McCleave

4.0

Three women all who have lived with overbearing and abusive men. Cerys who is recently divorced from her abusive husband and has moved to their Tuscan Villa with her daughter, Lowri, turning it into a vacation rental property. Lucia who the villa was named after when her father built and ran the resort before succumbing to his demons which made him lose ownership of what is rightfully Lucia’s. Zoe is still married to her brutish music mogul husband, Henry, who will fly off the handle at any moment. Zoe and Henry decide to take a much needed vacation to Villa Lucia with their son, Charlie, but someone will end up dead by the end of the night. One night is all it took for someone to be murdered, one night was all it took to change the lives of three women forever. But who is responsible?
Overall rating 4/5
The multiple POVs and timelines added for an interesting and intriguing story line. The way McCleave waited until just the right time (or timeline) to divulge information that will change your mind on who actually committed the murder was fantastic. The ending was a little drawn out for me, but if you like happy endings to your thriller then this ending is for you.
