Her Dark Lies

3.25 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Overall it was a good book. I really like the atmosphere of it being in Italy during a storm. I loved the different areas of the island like the grottos, labyrinth, and artist colonies. The setting itself was my favorite character.
The actual characters were a little pretentious (the Comptons). They read more as though they were British royalty rather than a couple from Nashville. But I did quickly overlook that to try and enjoy the book.
It was very slow paced. A little annoying that chaos and murder was ensuing and the characters seemed quite nonchalant about it. The major twist was pretty much known from the beginning. There was a smaller twist at the end I wish it went into depth a bit more with that rather than the main focus.
This definitely could've been cut down about 100 pages. By the end I felt like it dragged. There were a lot unnecessary stories or explaining that I felt didn't really add any value.
Over all I did enjoy the book, it just wasn't one of my favorites.
