  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

a dark, murderous story of what happens when people cross set boundaries
Riccardo is a struggling author, losing his inspiration
when a stranger arrives at his apartment with the news of his grandmothers death and her villa in Milan that was left to Riccardo
hoping for a change of scenery and possibly a small monetary inheritance, Riccardo is shocked to find not the nostalgic home of his childhood but a run down version with a haunted greenhouse and butterfly collection that seems more and more monstrous
 exploring the estate, Riccardo finds his grandmothers diary with hints to her mysterious death, this could be the story that changes Riccardo's career, if he can survive long enough to write it
