Women's Fiction
Somewhere on the French Riviera, tucked between glitzy Monte
Carlo and Cannes' red-carpets, lies the sleepy town of
Bellevue-Sur-Mer. Sheltered from the glittering melee, it is
home to many an expat – although it hasn't proved as
peaceful as expected. Now an enterprising band of retirees
has resolved to show it's never too late to start afresh,
and open a restaurant. Snapping up a local property and throwing themselves into
preparations, Theresa, Carol, William and Benjamin's plans
are proceeding unnervingly well. But when Theresa encounters
a mysterious intruder, she begins to wonder what secrets the
building is concealing. Meanwhile Sally, an actress who fled the stage to live in
quiet anonymity, has decided not to be involved. She's far
too busy anyway, shepherding around a gaggle of A-listers
including a suave Russian with a super-yacht and a penchant
for her company. As the razzmatazz of Cannes Film Festival penetrates
Bellevue-Sur-Mer, its inhabitants become entangled in a
complex pattern of love triangles and conflicting business
interests, and something starts to feel distinctly
oeuf. Finding themselves knee-deep in suspicion and
skulduggery, the restaurateurs realise they can no longer
tell who's nasty … and who's nice.
