Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Elizabeth Adler transports us once again to the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean in this sun-drenched novel full of romance, intrigue, and a few rare diamonds. Sunny Alvarez is tired of having a man who wont commit and the urge to get away from it all is stronger than ever. In Monte Carlo, she expects rest and relaxation; instead, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue involving a series of robberies of high-end jewelry stores. Can Sunny trust the new friends she meets in this glamorous hotel in the South of France? Plus, theres Sunnys old friend, movie star Allie Ray, who owns a vineyard in France and who comes to Sunnys aid, while at the same time sorting out the life and appearance of her old friend, Pru Hilson, with a makeover that not only changes her dowdy, overweight appearance, but changes Pru into an amateur detective. If Sunny doesnt untangle this plot, she might end up an unwitting accomplice to theft, blackmail, and even murder. When her boyfriend, Mac Reilly, shows up, hes ready to do anything to get Sunny back, not the least of which is to solve the crimes and save her life. Filled with the decadent details and “you-are-there” writing that have enthralled Elizabeth Adlers legion of fans, It All Began in Monte Carlo is a perfect gem and a perfect escape. Review:"At the start of Adler's bubbly thriller, the follow-up to There's Something About St. Tropez, Sunny Alvarez boards a Christmas Eve flight from L.A. to Paris, along with her pet Chihuahua, angry that her fianc, PI Mac Reilly of TV's Mac Reilly's Malibu Mysteries, has once again postponed their wedding. On the plane, Sunny meets Eddie Johanssen (aka 'Prince Charming'), who suggests another destination: Monte Carlo's Grand Hotel. After arriving alone in Monte Carlo, Sunny improbably befriends an aging Lithuanian prostitute, Kitty Ratte, who hangs out in the Grand Hotel bar — and turns out to be a psychopath. Sunny is thrilled when both Eddie and Mac show up, but the jealous Kitty soon creates trouble. Mac ends up investigating a series of jewelry store heists, while clueless Sunny, in another unlikely twist, takes a jewelry courier job for an enigmatic Indian woman. The gorgeous locale and Sunny and Mac's romantic give-and-take more than compensate for the less than credible plot. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
