About this listen
Eleanor Blake, distraught after breaking up with her fiancé Will, decides to do what most would scarcely dare: Secretly follow him to the island hideaway where he's on holiday with the woman who took her place. But on the shimmering, sun-drenched Sicilian island of Panarea, distractions come in many forms and her fellow hotel guests Lewis and Frannie may not be all they seem either.

Story
The Heights is a tall, slender apartment building among warehouses in London. Its roof terrace is so discreet, you wouldn’t know it existed if you weren’t standing at the window of the flat directly opposite. But you are. And that’s when you see a man up there - a man you’d recognize anywhere. He may be older now, but it’s definitely him. But that can’t be because he’s been dead for more than two years. You know this for a fact. Because you’re the one who killed him.

The next, Kit hasn’t turned up for the boat and his wife, Melia, has reported him missing. When you get off at your stop, the police are waiting. Another passenger saw you and Kit arguing on the boat home the night before, and the police say that you had a reason to want him dead. You protest. You and Kit are friends - ask Melia, she’ll vouch for you. And who exactly is this other passenger pointing the finger?

This book was interesting….however, I thought it was going to be something completely different. I had been looking for a mystery, thriller or suspense style, when I did a search. This title came up, so I got it. So that’s the only reason for my slight disappointment.

Really Enjoyed This Mild Story
It’s nice to listen to a mild romance once in a while. The story is set in a nice setting with moderately tamed characters. The narration is excellent, too. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Every now and then, it’s just not the right time…
Unfortunately, the timing wasn't quite right for me. I’ve run across this with Audible over the years. While I appreciate the author’s craftsmanship and the narrator’s skills, this thriller didn’t quite resonate with me at this moment. I believe that timing can make all the difference in enjoying a book, so I’ll set this aside for now and may revisit it in the future.

This is a perfect romance novel with travel notes
Where does The Island Hideaway rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very high in the category of interesting novels with a background in Italy.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Eleanor because she is realistically interesting and a unique character.
What about Antonia Beamish’s performance did you like?
I liked the soft resonance of her voice. I liked that she did not "overact" the various voices when reading dialogue. She is talented.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Quite a few, actually. I liked Eleanor's initial encounter with Franny. I liked the scene on the hydropo boat over to Siciliy with Lewis. Moments with Natalie, the nymphet were thoroughly believable and well-characterized.
Any additional comments?
This book made me happy, engaged and not wanting it to end. I also greatly appreciated that the author did not "wrap it all up" with a traditional ending. It was a very good and happy-making read. The descriptions of the islands were priceless.

Refreshingly different plot!
Nothing… Really loved this story and this narrator! Not easy to write a light, but interesting twist on a Love story
