Forgetting the night and coming into the daylight isn't as easy as first thought …

Canna Medici is free. Her tyrant husband, Giuseppe Savelli, is dead and can't hurt her anymore. Or so she thought. Now that the recovering drug-addict is the head of Caraceni Industries and heiress to Giuseppe's billions, Canna finds that the riches are more dangerous than ever. Giorgio Savelli, the charismatic but volatile nephew of the deceased family patriarch, wants the Caraceni fortune, and Canna needs to decide how to eliminate Giorgio and be the sole heir of the dirty money.

Operatic music group Virtuosi are in the throes of stardom; world tours, new albums and legions of fans beckon. All baritone Claudio Ramos Ibáñez wants is to be with his lover, Canna, whose business dealings take her to Milan far more often than he likes. The Virtuosi group adapt to the new relationship between Canna and Claudio, but tenor Dane Porter isn't sure of how he feels about Canna. Dane finds himself in a situation where he can destroy Canna and Claudio's already strained "happily ever after", and Virtuosi risk a descent into jealousy and madness.

When a brutal murder occurs, and Virtuosi get caught up in the scandal, Canna begins to question if she can have a future with Claudio. As the bodies of enemies and loved ones begin to pile up, the dark desires of drugs and self-mutilation dominate Canna's mind. The truth won't set anyone free, and Canna's life is again under threat, this time from her most dangerous adversary — herself.

Review: The Richebourg Affair by R. M. Cartmel

A Mysterious Review of The Richebourg Affair by R. M. Cartmel. A Commander Truchaud Mystery.

Review summary: This is a very complex mystery with many elements and much depth. The setting is gorgeously depicted and the lead character, a Paris police officer home to pay his respects upon the death of his older brother, recognizes something is amiss and sets out to discover what it is. A strong start to this proposed trilogy of mysteries set in France's wine country. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:
