About a lady in a million dollar seaside cottage who comes up against a dual strike of doom, first a husband who wanders off the honesty track, mingling with a dodge pot female, second the attentions of an alluring but rotten cored younger man.

Written from the first person, an American female, I found the text slow to get into. The societal parts of the story, rich people with their networking, did not appeal at all. But the common as muck sister, the wreck of the marriage pulling the protagonist through a hedge backwards, that I liked.

The Russian lady hanging out with the errant husband, that offers some intrigue, with the Russians popular in News fiction, their renowned espionage and sabotage skill, this offers an interesting plot facet.

It was quite an easy reader once I got used to the American slang. Based on the promise of the mystery and potential of dodgy Russians, my expectations are likely a little high, I doubt Vladimir Putin’s chums will be involved, and this looks difficult to tie together in a believable water tight way. Could be a curious little thriller, light reading but edgy enough to give a bit of spice.
