Synopsis

Sir Roberto Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce hiis ravishing nineteen-year-old stedaughter, Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdi's darkest opera, 'Don Carlos'. As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent fueds, abandoned bonking, tempermental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone wishes Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro would be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some bizarre things would occur.

Best trashy fiction writer around

OK, so Jilly's not writing great literature, but for pure escapist fiction, witty writing and fabulous wish-fulfillment plots she really can't be beaten. Just enjoy with a glass of champagne and a sunny afternoon in the garden.

Excellent read!

Funny and very tongue in cheek,this book is wonderful. A fab holiday read - if you don't know the main characters from previous novel, stick with the first chapters and it will all be worth while.
