Saltwater


 

“Saltwater” by Katy Hays
Published by Ballantine Books
 
Multiple mysteries, multiple twists, lots of family drama, and plenty of unlikable characters, all set in a beautiful Italian villa.  What it doesn’t have is suspense and deep character development, making it harder to relate to any of them.  Granted, it’s a rich egotistical family so it would be hard to relate anyway.  Overall, I enjoyed the story but truly didn’t like the ending.  I actually wish it had ended a couple chapters earlier.  I simply found the final twists unnecessary, but that’s just my opinion.  If you read it, I’d love to know yours.
 
Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the complimentary copy of this book.  As always, the opinions expressed within this review are completely my own.
 
Finished 3/19/25 – 3/5 stars
