ISBN 9781805140368
Four women, four ways to revenge… A Monaco insider reveals what life is like in the world’s richest and most secretive enclave, where revenge is best served with a glass of champagne. Wedged between Southern France and the Mediterranean Sea, the miniature principality of Monaco is a place for aspiration, for comic extremes and for outrageous personalities. Where a businesswoman gets her favourite Chanel suit flown in by private jet. Where Hôtel de Paris serves breakfast to a drunken socialite in a prison cell. Where two Gucci-clad women are behind a string of burglaries. Against a backdrop of cocktails on superyachts, looking fabulous and feeling empty, this tongue-in-cheek tale revolves around four relatable women who meet by chance in Monte Carlo. After sharing their tales of betrayal, they set up a book club as a cover while they settle each other’s scores. But revenge, like life, doesn’t always go to plan… The book cover has been designed by one of the UK’s leading illustrators, Patrick Knowles. Knowles is best known for his cover designs for Julian Fellowes and Anthony Horowitz, as well as for Prince William and Kate’s wedding calligraphy.
MY REVIEW
All in Monte Carlo by Anna Shilling is inspired by true events. I loved watching Dynasty, with their rich families and falls out, and I’m always watching the rich family of the Kardashian’s, with their elaborate clothes and makeup and posh mansions.
Naturally I loved reading about these rich powerful women, in the heart of Monte Carlo, that’s full of top class rich sparkling glamour, designer clothes, with a housekeeper and woman’s husbands working abroad, where women are left to home to fend for themselves.
But the question is what are these wealthy women really up to? Could it be revenge or something a bit more?
I was quite worried about Abigail writes for Monaco Mail, who clearly can’t stop writing about murder.
Lucinda has her fashion in Paris, London, and Milan.
Polina baffled me by carrying a handgun when travelling on business.
58 year old Barbara has come from a wealthy family who was brought onto the board at the age of just 26.
One of these women have trouble with their husband, one of them are about to get divorced.
All these wealthy ladies are about to meet up and have a special secret book club of their own. There’s so much happening inside this page-turning novel it will make you want to visit the rich land of Monaco. All ladies need to read this novel.
