Many thanks to NetGalley and Podium Entertainment for gifting me a digital ARC at the first book in a new series by a favorite, Clare Mackintosh. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
In Cannes, France, Baxter is a butler who caters to the ultra wealthy. His latest assignment has Alec Prescott hosting his ex-wife, his much younger lady friend, his son and wife, and a couple of Hollywood friends. But before long, nothing is going well. A guest is found dead and Baxter has to help the police figure out who is responsible and just who he can trust.
Combine an Agatha Christie type locked-room mystery told by one of my favorite thriller writers and you know you are in for a treat. It's always fun to see unlikable characters behave badly and then get just what they deserve, and these guests are certainly a wild crew. Everyone has secrets - even Baxter, who is a fabulous character. This is a short book, perfect for curling up and binging on a rainy day. Can't wait for more in this series!
