Brought to you by Penguin.
Three years ago, bride-to-be Aoife died at her own hen party.
Now the hens have returned to the villa where that terrible weekend unfolded.
They long for closure. But the moment they step back inside, old wounds open and tensions begin to rise.
Everyone has a different version of what happened that night.
Who is keeping secrets?
And how far will they go to keep them hidden?

Critic 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, it’s 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)
Such a great twist of events!!!!

Overall good but not suspenseful

The book switches from present to past and towards the end the switch seemed to happen in much smaller intervals and made it a little confusing but a few seconds I was caught up.
I’m going to listen to the book again now that I know the ended to see if I missed clues that could have predicted the ending.
Never Saw it Coming!

First book I’ve read in weeks that kept me hooked from the very first chapter.
A unique new take on the ‘hen party’ set up.
Very cleverly constructed, incredibly well paced and filled with interesting and fully realized characters.
What more could one ask for?
The narration (and there are several narrators) is exquisite.
I highly recommend this title and am looking forward to what comes next.
A fabulous book.
Phenomenal
