The Bougainvillea hideaway beach resort
|
Mario Bonfatti's Vatican conspiracy detective book is a success! With the BBC making a film of it and his agent badgering him for a second novel, he borrows money from his dodgy uncle ("zio") Arturo and flies off from his native Rome to the Indian state of Goa, far away from his mind-numbingly boring accountancy job, to seek inspiration by the Arabian sea.
Along the way he encounters a Mancunian estate agent, a hard drinking Russian cop, a famous British actor, an excessive swearing drug taking beach shack owner, a Gujarati diamond cutter and a fellow Roman with a dubious past. Can Mario find the spark in india for another Detective Inspector Pellegrino novel? Will he be able to juggle all the delights that Goa has to offer with his need to finish his second novel? And will he ever understand the rules of cricket? Read more...... "I couldn't put this down - it's light-hearted, genuinely funny, and makes you want to jump on a plane to Italy or Goa and stuff your face. Highly recommended!!"
"This is a book to be read on a warm sunny beach with a glass of white wine in hand!" |
