Two old friends. One unexpected adventure!
Synopsis:
When, at the age of 71, Gina Knight's husband of four decades left her unexpectedly, she thought her life over. Until she met Dorothy Reed – a woman so full of the joie de vivre you'd think she was 21, not nearly 90. Gina would do anything for Dorothy. So when Dorothy suggests she take on the role of companion for one of Dorothy's old friends, Gina sees no reason to say no.
Meredith Harper is a successful writer, living in Provence, and needs help looking after her husband, whose health is deteriorating. But when Gina arrives at the grand chateau, it becomes clear that Dorothy has not given Gina the full story. Because Meredith is also writing her memoirs, and Dorothy wants to know the contents before anyone else. So much so, she's sent Gina to spy.
But what secrets is Meredith keeping? And will Gina be able to find out the truth before her cover's blown?
Review:
This is the second book in the Old Girls Behaving Badly series, and follows up after the first book, with Gina now settled in living in her friends back apartment. Well, that is until Dorothy needs her to go on a mission- to France! This charming book will quickly have you enraptured as Gina tries to not only do her new job correctly, but adapt to living in a foreign place, while her life is still upended. Add in a few mysteries to be solved, and you have an adorable page turner featuring charming elder characters! I can't wait to see what the girls get up to next!
