Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Insipid and ridden with cliches --only a minimal plot, with a few red herrings. I liked his light hearted memoirs of his life in Provence, but this one was enough to discourage me from any reading any more of his books. ( ) Fun, breezy mystery not requiring much thought, but allowing those of us without money to see the lifestyle of the wealthy in the French Riviera. It’s also a book not to read if you are hungry. The descriptions of the French cooking and the resulting meals are among the best aspects of this beach read. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesSam Levitt caper (4)
When a Riviera socialite's diamonds are stolen--the latest in a string of seemingly unconnected but ever-more-audacious jewelry heists across France--Elena flies in to investigate the insurance claim. It's a trip she's more than happy to make, as it gives her a chance to meet up with old friends in Marseille--and, particularly, with Sam. Once reunited, Sam isn't entirely distracted by domestic matters. In the pattern of these "perfect crimes" he's beginning to see a master at work, and he's quickly determined to connect and solve the cases. But as he and Elena dig deeper, they begin to realize just how much is connected and how dangerous it may be to pursue the whole truth. No library descriptions found. |
