A propos de ce titre

Revue de presse

'A refreshing and amusing read simply because the storyline is based on a scam which could happen to anyone. A very topical situation. I especially enjoyed the heroine, Cynthia, as I am about the same age as her! Janet makes it easy to viaualise the story - her descriptive writing is excellent. Cynthia's unlikely companion,Tracey, is the "practical" one (having learned certain skills in prison) to Cynthia's basic snobbery. They are chalk and cheese but each with their own abilities to cope with a dire situation brought about by their shared passion for their Nigerian men! The ending made me hold my breath, thinking: "how could she be so naive" but... Just read the book to see what happens. Janet - I really enjoyed it. Congratulations on a brilliant story.' --amazon.co.uk

'I adore this book. Could it be because I see myself as similar to its heroine Cynthia? Very probably! Cynthia is a white, middle-class Surrey housewife and stalwart of the bridge club, until her dull husband Colin pops his clogs and she finds herself a new lease of life in an extremely unexpected place. Well, in the arms of a much younger Nigerian lover to be precise. But life is never that simple and Cynthia, who is a bit naive and certainly no expert with computers, falls foul of an email scam. Off she goes on an exotic, and as it turns out highly dangerous, escapade which she thinks is all to help her hunky boyfriend Darius. She meets crazy Tracey on the plane to Africa and the women make a formidable pair when it comes to trying to outwit the nasty gang who kidnap them and hold them hostage. She also meets a very naughty parrot called Pussy. This is a romp with great topicality. It's fun. It's hot. It's sexy. It is a hart-warming testament to the fact that women of a certain age should not be thought of as past it when it comes to adventure. Or sex! Go Cynthia!' --amazon.co.uk

'An absolute hoot! If you want to be cheered up, then take a look and have a read. Loved the narrative as told by the main character - Cynthia. Modern day story, with serendipity around every twist and turn.I meandered easily through the different characters.Look out for the passage about the parrot - you will not be disappointed. As I kept reading the book I was unable to put it down but, also, I kept seeing this as an adaption of a film.It literally played out before my eyes, quite incredible. throughout; as I kept laughing out loud. I shall await with great anticipation for the film. I would recommend this book to both sexes.' --amazon.co.uk
