Summer on the Côte d’Azur means tan bodies, wide beaches and glamorous nightclubs throbbing with the vitality of the rich and beautiful. So when Maggie Newberry arranges to meet an old boyfriend at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, it’s no surprise she begins to feel the seduction of her old life.But amidst the glamor, beautiful clothes and brilliant creative work on display, … display, there is also the side of the business Maggie had forgotten was always there too. The petty rivalries, the dirty deals, the betrayals, are all still front and center. When the back-stabbing turns literal and the wife of Maggie’s childhood friend is accused of the murder, Maggie knows she has to help.
Along the way she needs to fight the police, Laurent, and even her own natural instincts about who she is now and the life she left behind.
She learns the hard way that the treachery rife in her old industry has since ramped up to a whole new level—one that her quiet life as a vigneron’s wife has not at all prepared her for…and one that could very well get her killed.

Slow, repetitive.

Maggie seems to find a murder in her life in France.

Have noticed several misspelled words so whoever is proofreading failed at their job!
Fun book. Liked it
It had a surprise ending. Really enjoyed it. I would read more from this author.
When I need to get away, Susan takes me to the south of France. Traveling with Maggie is always an adventure. It was exciting to see Cannes in more ways than one. Definitely an escape that keeps you on your toes.
I really like the way Suan wrties and develpes her stroy line.
Great book, I highly recommend it
