4.5 rounded up. You are sure to enjoy this book if you are in the mood for a light, witty, fun-filled read, with interesting characters. Jane and her husband Dan are spending their 19th anniversary at an exclusive, cliffside restaurant in California, La Fin du Monde, At the
…more End of the World.
Jane is unhappy with her life and marriage, and she suspects Dan of having an affair. During the first dinner course, she shocks him by saying she wants a divorce.
Unexpectedly, a group of armed terrorists enter, take cell phones, and zip tie the people's wrists and feet. The drama that ensues is very much like that of the mystery she wrote six years ago. How could that be, when only 500 copies sold? She knows her book's ending and it's not good.
The banter between the couple and that among the hostages had me laughing aloud. Who are these terrorists and what do they want? The twists and turns are answered by the end of their 4-hour hostage ordeal. This would make a fun movie.
Thank you to BookBrowse and NetGalley for an ARC in return for my review. (less)
