Mini Review: The Villa by Rachel Hawkins





3***


Like Rachel Hawkins, Reckless Girls, The Villa just didn't really do it for me. It was entertaining enough, but also very predictable to me (this may just be a "me" problem, as I read a lot of crime fiction). The characters felt a little too cliched for my liking, almost a bit like caricatures at times. I was also a bit disappointed that the setting, a villa in Italy, never really came to life, which I was really hoping for, when I read the summary of the book. I did like the shifting POVs and thought that was done is a fairly seamless way, not always an easy task. All in all, not a bad book by any means, but one that I suspect will not linger very long in my memory either.


Thanks to St. Martin's Press for providing me with a copy of The Villa in exchange for an honest review.
