The Old Girls Chateau

Here’s the blurb

Two old friends. One unexpected adventure!

When, at the age of 71, Gina Knight’s husband of four decades left her unexpectedly, she thought her life over. Until she met Dorothy Reed – a woman so full of the joie de vivre you’d think she was 21, not nearly 90. Gina would do anything for Dorothy. So when Dorothy suggests she take on the role of companion for one of Dorothy’s old friends, Gina sees no reason to say no.

Meredith Harper is a successful writer, living in Provence, and needs help looking after her husband, whose health is deteriorating. But when Gina arrives at the grand chateau, it becomes clear that Dorothy has not given Gina the full story. Because Meredith is also writing her memoirs, and Dorothy wants to know the contents before anyone else. So much so, she’s sent Gina to spy.

But what secrets is Meredith keeping? And will Gina be able to find out the truth before her cover’s blown?

My Review

The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape is a worthy follow-up to the first book in the series, Old Girls Behaving Badly.

This time, our cast are mostly in France, which makes a delightful scene change and allows Art Historian Gina to thrive.

While she once more takes on the role of companion to an older couple, Gina has been tasked with uncovering some secret that Dorothy doesn’t wish others to know. What follows is a charming tale filled with some trepidation and a lot of questions, which resolves itself quite beautifully in the final few chapters.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I’m sure readers will be equally entertained by Gina and Dorothy and their antics.
