Ladykiller by Katherine Wood

3.0

When an heiress goes missing, her best friend races to unravel the secrets behind her disappearance using clues left behind in an explosive manuscript…

LADYKILLER by Katherine Wood is a destination (Greece) thriller that oozes wealth and sex. Unfortunately, this one didn’t do a whole lot for me.

In terms of the good, I enjoyed getting multiple perspectives - the heiress Gia, and her best friend Abby - and I loved that Gia’s perspective came from a manuscript she was writing.

However, I didn’t love the story - it offered up a lot of nothing (unless you enjoy watching grown adults have affairs to get a rise out of their partners? and mysteries that have far more questions than answers?), and also culminated in some relationships that felt rushed.

Three stars because I thought the writing was there, but the story just did not jive with me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bantam for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
