The Villa by Rachel Hawkins My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well! The word “switcheroo” popped into my head, more than once, when I finished listening to the Audiobook ARC of The Villa by Rachel Hawkins – ably narrated by Julia Whelan, Kimberly M.

I would line up to buy […]
4 out of 5. High octane thriller that’s most likely the start to a new series. Fans of Reacher and Orphan X might want to dig in.
