There's Something about St. Tropez

By: Elizabeth Adler

Narrated by: Julie Briskman

Five international vacationers, strangers to each other, misfits running from their daily lives, are brought together at the same small seaside Hotel of Dreams, by a rental scam, an international art heist, passion, murder, and a haunting.

It had seemed like the perfect getaway for Malibu's famous TV private investigator, Mac Reilly, and his girlfriend/partner, Sunny Alvarez, along with his three-legged, one-eyed rescue dog, Pirate, and her snippy three-pound fiend on four paws, the chihuahua Tesoro. But now they find themselves having to sort out the misfits' lives, including two lonely children on the trail of the mystery, as well as solve a crime and a murder, all against the sunny, glamorous backdrop of St. Tropez.

Critic reviews

"Adler's latest is filled with colorful characters and spicy skulduggery." ( Booklist)

Great!!

I enjoyed reading this book. It has intrigue, mayhem, & murder. The characters are a mix match bunch & carried me away with them to France.

Best book by Adler

Th e re is a little bit of everything in this book. The absolute. Best part of this book is the ending. I never saw it coming.

Slow moving, not an exciting story line, not cohesive.

Slow moving. Hard to like a couple of the characters. A disappointment, overall. Expected more excitement from such a beautiful setting.

Great summer read!

This is a great summer read! A combination of a mystery/suspense thriller and a romantic mystery-- something for everyone and a nice, light listen for the heat of the summer. In general, little if any language -- even a teenager could listen to this and not be offended -- they probably hear worse at school! The mystery unravels slowly, intertwined with other events, all intriguing. It made me want to find other books by Ms. Adler!

St Tropez

This book was hard to get into at first, then lasted forever, but with so many characters having their own story, it’s really the only way it could have gone. It’d be a good road trip book.
