Tucked between glitzy Monte Carlo and the red-carpets of Cannes, Bellevue-Sur-Mer seems like a perfect place for an enterprising band of inhabitants to try their hand at opening a new restaurant. But once the project is underway, it soon becomes apparent that someone is trying to sabotage their efforts. Meanwhile, along the coast Cannes Film Festival is in full swing. Celebrities are flying in, luxury yachts arriving. As the excitement spills over into the usually calmer Bellevue-Sur-Mer, tension is mounting, and the residents must unravel romantic entanglements and dodge unexpected obstacles - for the race is on to get the restaurant opened in time.

Review:
Fun ... Her work has definite joie de vivre and a sunny, good-natured feel -- Wendy Holden * Daily Mail * A hugely enjoyable romp of a novel with eccentric characters, a delightful background and a savoury tang of crime -- Katie Fforde With its lively plot and eccentric characters, this is a light-hearted, fun read * Daily Express * A very witty novel by a very witty woman. Hugely entertaining -- Julian Fellowes A warm, light-hearted, fast-paced tale that fans of Peter Mayle will enjoy -- Joanne Harris Utterly delicious in every way -- Joanna Lumley A delicious piece of entertainment ... The characters are a hoot and their antics are hilarious; even better, Theresa is a fabulous cook and Imrie includes the recipes of her signature dishes * The Times * Wonderful and very amusing -- Helen Lederer * Good Housekeeping * Sunny, funny debut novel ... A keenly observed, rollicking tale of mature expats reinventing themselves on the French Riviera ... Quickfire dialogue and the strong characterisation * Mail on Sunday * In a delicious touch, the action is punctuated with recipes for the local dishes that are cooked by the characters so that readers can, if they wish, cook along with the action * Daily Telegraph * It's lots of fun, with adventure at a certain age as its driving force, and sun-kissed recipes * Sainsbury's Magazine * A comic caper set among the tangled lives of a group of expats in a southern French village * Observer * Fast-paced and refreshingly frill-free, the text keeps you on edge without the unnecessary embellishment. If you're not already on holiday reading this, it will make you want to pack your bags! * Best * Celia Imrie reveals herself to be a gifted novelist in the witty and engaging Not Quite Nice * Choice * A pacy, light-hearted romp around the Riviera ... Imrie is on a roll with her Nice stories: they're sharp, witty, with a nice plot twist and, like her recipes, leave you with an appetite for more * Scotland on Sunday * Imrie's portraits of expats are vivid * Mail on Sunday * Peppered with local dishes, the novels are as light and frothy as the iles flottantes with creme anglaise she gives a recipe for near the end of the first book * Guardian *
