Customer Reviews

This story is told in flashback - four women go to Monte Carlo for a "girls weekend" - a weekend that leads to a sentence in a French prison. Why? What happened? What the women do not know is that their husbands have followed them to Monte Carlo and are watching them as they enjoy the city and all it has to offer.
The story of their weekend unfolds - they gamble, enjoy the beach and dine in the finest restaurants. They dance and drink and drink and drink.
It is clear they are not innocents - but are they guilty and of what?
The first twenty three chapters do make you want to know what happened, how it happened and who made it happen....

This marketing ploy gets me upset. It claims we will save over $27 with this offer. Really? Hachette is only offering the first 23 chapters for free. If it's less than the full book, it is a sample. And samples are ALWAYS free. Patterson has always charged more for his books than anyone else. But even he has never charged for a sample.
The publisher must think we - the customers - are not very smart.
