“This is a tale of murder.”

So begins our narrator Elliot.   Who tells us a story that takes place on a private Greek island owned by retired film actress Lana!   

Along with her family, son Leo and husband Jason, she invites her friend Kate for Easter.  
Also part of the mix are long time confidant and housekeeper Agathi and Nikos who lives on the island. 

I’ll admit it took a bit to get a grasp on who was who.  And I wasn’t sure how I felt at first about Elliott.  He is the most unreliable narrator, but I couldn’t get enough.  

It was a tad slow to start for me, but once I hit 50% I couldn’t stop.  I loved the quick short chapters and the way the story unfolds.  

And I loved the Easter egg thrown in there, 𝖨𝖸𝖪𝖸𝖪!!  (But be forewarned this is a spoiler for 𝖳𝗁𝖾 𝖲𝗂𝗅𝖾𝗇𝗍 𝖯𝖺𝗍𝗂𝖾𝗇𝗍.  You can avoid the epilogue if you haven’t read TSP yet).  

This was one of my most highly anticipated reads this year and it did not disappoint.
