Cap d’Antibes
The setting are what this make this book so luscious to read – we spend time in a villa set on a cliff on the Cap d’Antibes, a posh and rich area where those with money spend as much time as they can. Villa Starlight is of course, fictional but it could be any one of the stunning villas which sit on the island offering some of the best views in the world.
The Hotel Cap d’Antibes is very real and features in the novel as does the town of Antibes, Juan le Pins and the Cap in general. There is mystery to be found amongst the palm trees and white sandy beaches!

Booktrailer Review
Absolutely superb. Agatha Christie-esque with a case of a missing child taken from his bedroom via a ladder. If you remember the case of the Lindbergh baby, this kidnapping of a rich family’s child is similarly horrific. What follows is a cat and mouse game, yes in paradise, but in a world where there are dark figures and even darker motives.
Full review to come but utterly brilliant – and THAT ENDING!!
