Rating: Summary: LIES, AND DECEPTION IN "THE VILLA" Review: Two leaders in the wine industries are the Giambellis', and the MacMillan's, and when La Signora, the matriarch of the Giambellis', heads up a merger between the two, she opens a flood gate of betrayals, and murder.Sophia Giambelli is not happy when she finds out she is working with Tyler MacMillan, but when the dust settles, the two find that together they can make a bright future for their company. But after Sophia's father, Tony, is murdered, the two realize that someone close to them will stop at nothing...even murder, to have control. "The Villa" is another good outing from bestselling author Nora Roberts, while not as good as "Sanctuary", or "Homeport", the novel does speed along at a fast pace, taking an interesting theme of wine industry, and throwing in a murder mystery to keep readers turning the pages. Nora Roberts has made a career of writing romantic/suspense novels, and many of her recent bestsellers have been very suspenseful, and although this new book is a little too glossy at times-with it's high fashion settings, and romance, it does maintain a level of suspense to satisfy any reader looking for an entertaining mystery. Fans should be pleased with "The Villa", which will surely fly to the top of the bestseller list's.
