It’s not that Janey Sinclair isn’t pleased to see her sister. It’s just that being woken at seven by Maxine, complete with police escort, isn’t quite how she’d planned to spend her Sunday. Even so Janey, who’s just rebuilding her life after her husband disappeared, is delighted that her sister’s back in the Cornish town where they grew up. When Maxine sets her sights on Guy Cassidy, an impossibly glamorous fashion photographer, Janey knows there’s no limit to the mischief her sister will get up to in order to dispatch her rivals. But little do they know that the competition is a lot closer to home than they think.

"3 1/2 - 4 stars -- This is not my favorite Mansell read, but I still enjoyed it. The main characters and supporting were likeable and a bit despicable. A fun debut novel."
— Penny (4 out of 5 stars)
" Probably the weakest of the Jill Mansell novels I've been gobbling down like candy. Too many unlikeable characters. And the main heroine was a little too wimpy for my taste. "
