Synopsis

‘Oh, something is bound to go wrong, but one might as well start out from a position of optimism, don’t you think?’ said Angela.It's fair to say that Freddy Pilkington-Soames is not having a good day. His grandmother is threatening to marry a lounge lizard, his old friend has lost her lover, a racehorse has been kidnapped, a priceless diamond has gone missing, and everybody seems to think he should sort it all out.(Oh, and there's a dead body on the terrace.)Now Freddy's on the sunny French Riviera, caught in the crossfire of a feud between an audacious thief he's locked horns with before and a murderous gang who will stop at nothing to get what they want. He'd keep his head down if he could, but there are questions that need answering. Who took the diamond? Who is double-crossing whom? And is his grandmother's intended quite all he seems?(And where did that dead body go?)A political scandal at the highest level is looming and the future of an international conference hangs in the balance, and once again it's up to Freddy to save the day—in more ways than one.

Angela and Freddy team up again! This was a wild adventure, where Edgar is dragged back into his old life at the same time that Freddy’s grandmother wants a divorce, and he’s sent to go talk her out of it.

Love it, love it, love it! I normally don't like to read about characters that walked into the sunset to have their happily ever after. Angela Marchmont's series was complete and we were now following Freddy's adventures. Yet, having her back for this escapist romp in the French Riviera was so much......more

Goodreads review by Panda on September 13, 2022

2.5 and rounding up This one is more an adventure book with the "mystery" part tacked on as a formality. The characters here are so flat and lifeless it's actually amazing... The writing style saves it as I was entertained enough through out but I kept mixing up the side characters they were so same-......more
