The House of Farrell - home of The Cream, an iconic face product that has seen women flocking to its bijoux flagship store in the Berkeley Arcade since 1953. At Farrell, you can rely on the personal touch. The legendary Athina Farrell remains the company's figurehead and in her kingdom at the Berkeley Arcade, Florence Hamilton plies their cosmetics with the utmost discretion. She is sales advisor - and holder of secrets - extraordinaire. But of course the world of cosmetics is changing and the once glorious House of Farrell is now in decline.

As with all the Penny Vincenzi books I have read I couldn't put it down so to speak !
Lovely characters especially dear Florence, you can imagine her as a sweet dear Grandma'
Athena certainly was a woman not to cross, one of the old school and Bianca really did need the patience of a saint !
I thoroughly enjoyed the story line from start to finish and if your a fan I'm sure you will too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
San Francisco homicide detective Frost Easton hadn’t seen his estranged friend Denny in years. Not until he dies in Frost’s arms uttering a final inexplicable word: Lombard. Denny appears to be the latest victim in a string of murders linked by a distinctive clue: the painting of a spiraled snake near the crime scenes. Is it the work of a serial killer? Or is Denny’s death more twisted and personal? To find the answer, Frost reaches into a nest of vipers - San Francisco’s shady elite - where the whispered name of Lombard is just one secret.

Just briliant..
Really enjoyed all the 3 books but i wish there was a 4th !!!! Is there one to come i hope ???
I just love Shak, the books wouldnt be the same without him and Frost deserves to live in that house together for many years to come and what about Tabby ? Maybe she will have second thoughts ????I
I certainly didnt see Fox coming though, what a twist that was.
All in all a great 3 books and personally i think you should read them all because you then have the background of the main characters.
I am certainly going to look for more books by this author but these 3 will take some beating

Homicide detective Frost Easton doesn't like coincidences. When a series of bizarre deaths rock San Francisco - as seemingly random women suffer violent psychotic breaks - Frost looks for a connection that leads him to psychiatrist Francesca Stein. Frankie's controversial therapy helps people erase their most terrifying memories...and all the victims were her patients.

This is the first book by Brian Freeman that i have read/ listened to and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
The plot was well thought out, i couldn't imagine coming up with such a storyline, i was hooked right from the beginning.
I secretly hoped that something would come of Frost and Lucy ...... not forgetting Shrak !
I did have to keep going back here and there to jog my memory as to what had happened, there were some twists along the way but if you enjoy a novel with a dark side this is for you.
I am going to hunt for more novels by this author and I'm hoping that the next will have as good a storyline and character's with as interesting lives as this ....... im really hoping that i haven't been spoilt for more.
This is the 1st book i have ever written a review for so it must have been good !

A great American novel

Well worth a listen/read

I think if I'd got the book without Audible i wouldn't have stuck with it, the first couple of Chapters were not gripping enough for me but each to their own. As Audible was available to add at around £3.50 i purchased and I'm glad I did as I would have missed out on a great novel.
Once I'd got used to the narrator who has an American style accent i only paused it for either a brew, toast or the loo and I chose a pyjamas day !!!!!
It does jump between the early 1900's and modern day and your told where you are but once your familiar with the characters it's fine.
I am going to look for more Wendy Webb novels, I like to find a new Author occasionally but do prefer to find books which are in a Series.
I think this book could make a nice t.v drama, something a little bit different.
The only reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is because I wasn't too keen on the narrator
