Über diesen Titel

'The Talented Mr Ripley meets How to Kill Your Family. Sharp, funny and has a twist you won't see coming' Eve Kellman

Even for a con artist, Liz is about to take things way, way too far . . .

Liz has always had a knack for charming people and gaining their trust. That's what makes her such a talented con artist. But lately the pressure's rising - Liz's past crimes have started snapping at her heels. So she leaps at the chance to escape to the Mexican coast to decorate a socialite's new villa, planning to lie low, enjoy paradise, and behave herself for once.

When Liz is mistaken for her absent employer, Isabelle, she can't help getting drawn into this glamorous seafront community. But dangerous secrets lurk beneath the surface, and it's not long before Liz realises that this time, she might be in over her head . . .

Spoiler: it's going to be carnage.

I was curious when I heard this was about a female con-artist and tbh the book went far beyond my expectations.
In the beginning we follow Liz in her unsteady lifestyle as a con-artist and I immediately liked her. There are so many small details that basically made the character and her actions appear in front of me as I listened to her story.
When she gets an unexpected offer from the friend of a new acquaintance, we can see her being torn between following her usual lifestyle and becoming more honest. But soon she finds out that her employer and she have much more in common than anticipated...
I adored every minute of this audio book. The beginning is well paced and keeps it interesting. The last few chapters have a twist that captivated me to the point that I couldn't put the phone away.
(A tiny spoiler:) Usually I am not a big fan of open or ambiguous endings. But here it fits perfectly and I feel like every other ending wouldn't have fit as good. For me everything important was resolved and it just matched the flow of the rest of the story.

Intriguing beginning, an incredibly twist and am ending that leaves you breathless
