Reviews

Jess Ryder is a master plotter. In The Villa, she gives us a compulsive thriller with claws. The trials and tensions of a girls holiday the sense of abandon, the vying for status, the unspoken friction is captured in all its prickly glory. With shades of Big Little Lies and The Hunting Party, its the perfect holiday read. -- Kia Abdullah
The mystery of bride-to-be Aoife's hen night murder kept me up late in to the early hours. Jess Ryder expertly explores the darkly-held secrets and simmering resentments of a group of friends on a fateful weekend in Marbella. I was there for all the twists and turns of this fast paced thriller, and it felt satisfyingly voyeuristic watching the characters unfurl in both the past and present. However, as much as you will love the ride and you will THE VILLA may just put you off hen nights for life -- Ali Lowe
A hen party from hell where no one can be trusted with some shocking and surprising twists - a great read -- Catherine Cooper
I was gripped from the first page to the last. A wonderful twisty read -- Ava Glass
