Review

When Guillaume Musso invited me on a yacht in Cannes 😉 I immediately said yes! Take my money! Ten second later, I was wearing my best clothes and had a cocktail in hand…..

Oh there are some very not nice people on board mind. Can’t say I cared for any of them. Oriana the rich publisher who is murdered….well she has a dark story to tell. And she does as we flick back and forth in time so Oriana gets her voice heard…

Meanwhile, Oriana’s husband is on board, as is his mistress. I was rubbing my hands in glee! Safe from my seat on the side lines of course. And the secrets pile up as the murder investigation gets going. And there was me wandering around the yacht almost spilling my drink with the shock of it all. Almost took out the cocktail stick and olive to use as a weapon myself. I felt so much part of this! Thank you Mr Musso. When a guy invites you on a yacht, you don’t expect it to go like this 😉

The ending is….vague….but once I had had a think about it, I couldn’t help but feeling the ride of the lies and deception needed a calm ending – a bit like when you get thrown around on a rollercoaster and then it comes to a stop and you get that feeling in your stomach…

Musso does it again!
