I always wondered when an author would take a look at the Jeffery Epstein situation and write a novel on a similar theme, exporing things from the girls’ point of view. This is that novel. Now, this is not a novel of that scandal but it is set on a remote Greek island where girls are invited to parties, one man in particular meets a young girl in a bar and she is dazzled by him. Later something happens in the island and the police are called. Then, and only then is the final picture revealed…

A gripping story and one that really gets inside your head since it’s written in the voice of the girl who is spellbound by that man in a bar who invites her to party. It’s uncomfortable reading at times but it examines what goes on in a young girl’s head when faced with the chance to live in paradise, have a man worship the ground you walk on and how easy it is for someone powerful to abuse all he has and more.

It’s a novel that is going to get a lot of chatter at bookclubs that’s for sure. Oh and that cover!! If Book Publishers did top fashion adverts. Hope the finished cover is half as glam as the proof!
