The villa

One island. One family's fortune. One RSVP nobody expected. Cass Bishop has six weeks to plan the wedding of the year — money she desperately needs after a disaster event nearly ended her career. The job: an engagement weekend for Freya Lindqvist, daughter of hotel magnate Curtis Lindqvist, on a private Mediterranean island. The catch: nothing about this booking is quite what it seems. When an uninvited ex-fiancé crashes the party with a warning about the groom, and a storm cuts the island off from the mainland, Cass starts noticing what everyone else is too polite to say out loud — that every person on this island is hiding something, and someone brought them all here on purpose. When Curtis Lindqvist is found dead in his own infinity pool, "accident" is the only word nobody actually believes. Trapped until the tide turns, Cass has days to uncover what really happened eleven years ago on a hotel construction site nobody wants to talk about — before the wedding party becomes something else entirely. A closed-circle psychological thriller for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, and Book Two of the Elsewhere trilogy — where every invitation costs more than anyone realizes until it's too late.
