Used Book – The Devil Lived in Notting Hill (pll), Rachel Johnson

Money can't buy happiness... even when you live in a private square in Notting Hill, London's trendiest, most sought-after, most snobbish address. Take Clare and Mimi. They are under forty, married, friends, neighbours, and live a dream life. Until one day, an American billionaire, single, and temptation incarnate, arrives. Amorous cross-paths and real estate intrigues then unfold on the green lawn, and this dearly bought piece of paradise turns out to be hellish. Notting Hill? More like Notting Hell! The tranquility of the beautiful people shatters. And the reader bursts out laughing.

Oh dear, oh dear, the worm is in the apple, the women bite into it, and we laugh. Isabelle Lortholary, Elle.
