Saltwater

This is the first book I've read by Katy Hays. I am currently longing for holidays so the book with its setting on Capri just came at the right time. I liked the different PoV, each character was adding more insights into the story. But often, it was just too detailed, I would have wished for shorter chapters and more cliffhangers. All of the characters are morally grey, there is not a single person who is genuinely good. Even though the story plays during summer holidays at the Italian island of Capri, still, the atmosphere is not relaxed, but tensed. It is not sure if Helen, the daughter of dead Sarah Wingate, can trust anyone, especially not her own family. She was the person I liked most, even though she keeps a lot of secrets. And which role does Lorna, her uncle's assistant, play? The end highlighted two plot twists and I have to admit that two plot twists were a bit too much for me to be realistic. One would have been enough. Overall, it's a solid thriller about jealousy, old money and rage. Nothing is as it seems.
