Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of Five Days in Provence by Simon McCleave due to be published June 27, 2025.

Steph spent months planning her perfect birthday celebration with four of her best friends – a little partying and a hike up the famous mountain in France. Unfortunately, wildfire flared up and the group became separated. When the smoke clears, one of their friends is dead. Is it the mysterious stalker of one of the group or someone they know?

This one definitely held my interest – first I wasn’t sure which friend was dead – didn’t find out until over halfway through. There were many suspicious people around them so it was a mystery as to “whodunit”! It was a rollercoaster of a ride with a surprise ending! Loved it!

Well, considering I read this book in basically one sitting, I'd say it was a hit. This was on the shorter side and filled with plenty of drama, tension and twists. The timeline was fast paced and kept me on my toes the entire time.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
