I started this book very excited. Whoever wrote the teaser on the back cover really should get paid a load more money than the author. It sounds compelling and leads you into a false sense of heightened expectation.

Nothing could be further from the truth. This book is absolute total and complete rubbish. None of the characters are believable. They are even less likable. They are one dimensional. And their priorities are all screwed up.

Jessica used to be a television presenter. Her husband, Charlie, is a news reader. Their daughter, Nathalie dies. Jessica is convinced there is more to the story than she has been told. Charlie and Jessica's best friend, Lillian, try to convince Jessica that she is crazy and that her daughter simply fell down a flight of stairs whilst visiting her grandmother in France. Then Jessica falls in love with Lillian's husband, Luc, whilst in France investigating the accident.

I won't give away the ending just in case you are woefully misguided and decide to pick this book up on your own. Although I do strongly urge you not to. this is nothing more than a trashy romance novel. The sex scene at the very end is absolutely cringe worthy.

I can't believe we actually read this for the book group!
