Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a twisty mystery/thriller set at an exclusive recovery retreat for the rich and famous. It’s tucked away in the Hamptons and this time Lord Edward, fighting an addiction to pain medication after a terrible accident, Amelia Blue, the daughter of a 90s rock legend struggling with an eating disorder; and Florence Bloom, a pop star trying to lay low after her latest tabloid scandal are the guests. But of course, not everything is as it seems. The patients are treated one-on-one with their own chef, housekeeper, and therapist that all live with them in their private cottage.

Troubled people are going to do troubling things, and it’s not long before Lord Edward and Amelia Blue are sneaking out at night to wander the grounds and Flo is seducing the chef. It doesn’t seem like the therapists are too effective and there isn’t much healing going on.

The book less than 300 pages, but is a slow read that takes time to develop. I normally don’t like slow books, but I was invested enough in the characters and the mystery surrounding the retreat to keep reading to figure out what was really going on. Some of it I figured out, and other things I didn’t. Even though I had to suspend disbelief for some of the conclusion of the book, the story came to a satisfactory conclusion.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and Atria Books. All opinions are my own.
