One week. One race. One dead body.
Grand Prix week, and the Gilded Lily Monte-Carlo has never been fuller. An English baron arrives in a Bugatti he can no longer afford. A French politician works the room for donors to a party he doesn't believe in. An American who built an empire from a Detroit garage wants a Formula One team, and everyone in the building wants his money.
And on the terrace, five women who last shared a dormitory at Benenden take each other's measure across thirty years.
Somebody's not going to make it home.
By the Monday after the race the yachts are casting off, the champagne has gone flat, and there is a body below a suite balcony. Beside it, a cocktail glass smashed on the bleached stone.
The White Lotus meets Gone Girl in this wickedly funny murder mystery. Half the fun is guessing who dies. The other half is working out which of them could have done it.
Monaco Red is the second novel in The Gilded Lily series from Tom Quiller, author of the Frida Skardet Scandi Noir novels and the Sam Tilson espionage thrillers. Each book takes a new cast of guests, staff and suspects to a different exclusive location, where somebody always checks out early.
Genre: Mystery
