Crimes of passion 🔪🏝️🇬🇷
⭐️Overall rating: 3/5:⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is in a similar format to an Agatha Christie murder.. so if that is your forte buckle up.
This story starts with a narrator you come to find narcissistic and self absorbed. Everything he does is in order to benefit himself. He starts by telling you a trip his friend has planned and all the guest have their own secrets and ulterior motives.
The real reason for the trip: to teach someone a lesson… revenge. The group of 6 take off to a secluded Greek island with winds known for their fury, but no one knows the twists and turns in store for them.
This book got slow at parts for me and I just saw it all coming but it was a fast paced fun read! Definitely needed a book like this to get me out of my reading slump but I wish there was even more of a twist.
