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 feuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue.

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.

Her best book by far!!
I loved this book to death!!!

It is her best book by far!

A brilliant story - that even makes you want to go out and buy works of art!! hehe!!

I would recommend this for a holiday read - you will get a fantastic suntan, as you will not move from the sunbed!!

Highly recommend this book
