Who killed the
infamous Johanna Cartier? Sémya Slotin is thrown back in the business of
solving mysteries when she found her body. With the help of her best friend
Polliannah Koch, DCI Ally Gibbons and the mysterious but extremely sexy Josh
Heinz, she vows to see this through.
This was supposed to
be an easy case...
Sémya Slotin had spent the last three years living in London
with her best friend Polliannah Koch staying away from solving cases. After
Hawaii, she was taking a break from puzzles, cases and mysteries that could
potentially get her killed. Instead, she had been doing her second and third
favorite things, drinking and selling expensive vintage wines and having
earth-shattering sex with the mysterious, sexy, beautiful but ever so secretive
Josh Heinz. Life in London was good....until her funds ran out. Too much wine
drinking, not enough wine selling!
When fashion designer
and adoptive mother, Annika Slotin, summoned her back to Paris to hire her for
what Sémya considered being the easiest case of her amateur sleuth career, all
she could think of and see was money signs and a well-deserved Cuban holiday
once it was solved.
What Sémya didn't see was her stumbling on the fresh corpse
of supermodel Johanna Cartier. She didn't think that male model turned fashion
designer Julian Marais-Caldwin, who also happened to be Sémya's ex, would be
suspected of brutally murdering her. Johanna was his girlfriend, his muse and
he loved her. Sémya didn't see the dead bodies piling up or the conspiracy
theories.
Sémya was a little rusty. But then again, it was supposed to
be an easy case and she was going to solve it. One vintage wine at a time...
Sémya Slotin was officially back in business!

Mystery isn’t
my favorite genre, only lately have I started reading it more often. Well,
after reading Bird Of Prey I like it even more. Semya Slotin is an absolute
delight to the detective world, she is absolutely brilliant. Until her mother
called her to help with a case, she was selling wine with her bff Polliannah,
as well as spending time with her hot boyfriend Josh Heinz, who is also a
mystery in himself. As she heads in to
solve an easy case as she puts it, she discovers that it isn’t going to be just
that easy. Watch out folks Semya Slotin is back.
