Synopsis
Set in Geneva, this is a rich and gripping story of love and relationships, nicely seasonsed with a touch of suspense. Kim is suddenly adrift in an expensive foreign city with a child to support. She's been trailing dutifully around the world with her unreliable husband Richard, ex-army officer turned international businessman, but early one morning he is reported killed in a plane crash in the Indonesian jungle. His shady employers insist she must leave the company-rented house within a month and, with no home in England, she finds herself destitute. Then wicked old Henri makes a practical proposition - what would you do if you were Kim? How would you cope with the extraordinary dilemmas she faces?
A great read, I liked the characters, the setting, the romance & the mystery.
