Media Reviews
Rachel Rhys should be on everyone's summer reading list * CLARE MACKINTOSH *
With a dash of Agatha Christie and a nod to Zelda Fitzgerald, Rachel Rhys' historical mystery is simply gorgeous. The late 1940s Cote d'Azur setting is a character in its own right - one that will have you yearning to sip a gin fizz while watching the sun sink into the Mediterranean * KATE RIORDAN *
I am racing though this delicious thriller set on the French Riviera in 1948. Rachel Rhys really is a natural successor to Patricia Highsmith. Out July, put it on preorder now so you don't forget. * SARRA MANNING *
Deadly secrets, dazzling sunshine - utterly seductive. This book is a total joy * LUCY DAWSON *
Atmospheric, totally absorbing and joyfully original * JANE FALLON *
