Celebrating your 40th birthday surrounded by your closest friends, their husbands and children in a luxurious villa sounds blissful ..... until you suspect that your husband is having an affair with one of your best friends! As soon as I started reading the opening pages of this novel I felt immediately drawn into what promises to be a tense psychological thriller, an exploration of dysfunctional relationships, lies and secrets. An added attraction is that the story is set in a part of France I love so I know I'll be able to vivdly imagine the sights, smells and sounds which will form a sunny, beautiful backdrop to this dark and disturbing tale - almost as good as actually being in Languedoc-Rousillon to read it!
