'Absorbing, intelligent and atmospheric... Genius' Elizabeth Haynes _________________________ Fortune favours the fraud... When she was thirteen years old, Ada Howell lost not just her father, but the life she felt she was destined to lead. Now, at eighteen, Ada is given a second chance when her wealthy godmother gifts her with an extravagant art history trip to Italy. In the palazzos of Venice, the cathedrals of Florence and the villas of Rome, she finally finds herself among the kind of people she aspires to be: sophisticated, cultured, privileged. Ada does everything in her power to prove she is one of them. And when a member of the group dies in suspicious circumstances, she seizes the opportunity to permanently bind herself to this gilded set. But everything hidden must eventually surface, and when it does, Ada discovers she's been keeping a far darker secret than she could ever have imagined...

I love a book that keeps me engaged throughout then suddenly includes mind-blowing twists and turns in the storyline. It blows my mind! This is exactly what this book did. It was a little slow at the start, however most thriller style books are, as they do not want to give everything away at the start. I loved the main characters of the book as I think they were relatable and likeable. I was not a massive fan of the cover of the book, I do not think it was very eye-catching and I also felt the same about the title of the book. If I was to see this book in a book shop on a shelf I do not think it would necessarily grab my attention. However, the book itself and the storyline was great. I have already recommended this book to family and friends and I look forward to them reading it in order to discuss with them key parts in the book. I look forward to reading more books written by this author.
