NOVEL
The murder-mystery plot in Adler's 23rd confection is secondary to the descriptions of scrumptious food consumed, lush scenery observed and designer clothing worn by the moneyed set gallivanting through high-season St. Tropez. TV star and private investigator Mac Reilly and his gorgeous girlfriend Sunny Alvarez's plans for a romantic vacation go awry when the villa they reserved turns out to have been rented to several other travelers. The unlikely group—which includes a wealthy Texan and his awkward daughter, a workaholic Manhattan trader and a sexy blonde on the run from her shady husband—band together, and they're soon pulled into a complicated mystery that involves ... well, it doesn't really matter, does it? It all goes down as easily—and deliciously—as an ice-cold bottle of French rosé.
