Excerpt from Crime at the Villa GloriaSince you are an insatiable reader of thrillers, and since I know that you often sigh for the terraced gardens, the olive groves and the eucalyptus bordered walks of the Golfe Bleu, I have ventured to inscribe your initials at the top of this page.I, too, often feel that I should like to go and buy a packet of high life cigarettes from Mme. Imbert; lunch in the garden of the Pension Mireille where you used to do your lessons, and walk to Monte Carlo by the narrow path above the rocks. You, of course, prefer the summer months there while I should always choose the winter for a visit because, for me, that season is almost unendurable in England. Well, we won't quarrel about it. Some time we will each have our wish. We will go back there for both the summer and the winter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
