A Killer Getaway
by: Sienna Sharpe
A Novel
Not what I expected.
A not-so-common premise, a female serial killer - maybe. From the summary, we know that each summer Lily Lenox goes to a resort that has had mysterious deaths. We’re given the motive, making toxic people pay. I settled in thinking a bit of intrigue, a bit of homicide, and a little romance along the way.
This story is much more. The setting is a wellness resort with beautiful staff. There is body shaming, a bit of ageism, bullying, and depression. There is a character or two that seems superfluous. Lily’s background is sprinkled throughout and shapes the person that she is when she is at the resort.
I think others will find parts to relate to and may find themselves engrossed in the story. I didn’t. I did like the theme about taking responsibility and doing what’s right, even if it is hard.
Early in the story, I figured out a few things that turned out to be true with a couple of surprises. Everyone was flawed, not all good and not all bad. The choices made were the same, not all good, not all bad. Like the premise, the setting, and the thought-provoking ideas. The rest no.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #SourcebooksLandmark for the opportunity to read and share my thoughts on the story.
Happy Reading!
