PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rhys (Dangerous Crossing) lyrically highlights how one woman's staid existence is forever changed by her sudden inheritance. In May 1948, in Sutton, England, Eve Forrester receives a letter regarding the terms of an inheritance, summoning her to Cannes, France, on an expenses-paid trip for the reading of the will of Guy Lester, a man Eve has never met. Once in the South of France, Eve is amazed to learn she has inherited one-quarter share of Guy's house, the Villa La Perle; the other three shares go to his three children, Noel, Duncan, and 16-year-old Libby. Noel and Duncan are adults, so they can receive their share once the house is sold, but Libby's share will be held in trust by her mother. The other three parties want to sell the house soon, but Eve is undecided. As she tries to understand why she received the inheritance, she uncovers some long-buried secrets about her family's past. Eve's adventure takes on a mysterious edge when the truth about her inheritance reveals a number of surprises about her family. This alluring story will appeal to fans of historical fiction who like a twist of mystery.
