Critic reviews

"With a dash of Agatha Christie and a nod to Zelda Fitzgerald, Rachel Rhys' historical mystery is simply gorgeous...will have you yearning to sip a gin fizz while watching the sun sink into the Mediterranean." (Kate Riordan)

"A transporting golden-age infused mystery caper." (Sunday Times)

"An exquisite and shimmering read. I completely lost myself in Rhys’s lovingly evoked 1940s French Riviera and was gripped by the slow-burn mystery. An essential summer read!" (Lisa Jewell)
