Publisher Description
My name is Jules Hooker. I have lived through a few crappy moments in my life—and with a name like Hooker, you can just imagine—but nothing, nothing, compares to the two intensely and world-shatteringly crappy things that happened to me this last June.
Three, I guess, if you count Gilbert.
After my boyfriend dumped me on the day I thought he was going to propose, I’d have to say two other really bad things happened last June. The first would have to be the dead body I discovered in the rental house in France where I went to get over being dumped.
The second—and very possibly I should have led with this—was the dirty bomb that exploded over the Riviera throwing me and everyone else in France back to the 1950s.
So now I’m stranded here—trying to make a living by solving murders the old fashioned way — without help from DNA, databases, CSI crime labs or the police.
And I’m doing it in France.
Where I do not speak the language.
During the apocalypse.
Sound like fun?
Customer Reviews
An unusual read
I stumbled across this book and downloaded it. I’m so glad I did. A charming easy read. I’m off to download the next in the series.
Love this book
I love the characters but my favourite part of the book is the setting. I felt like I was right there in the book
Don’t bother wasting your time
Poorly researched and massively inaccurate.
Characters are generally endearing, but I doubt the author has ever been to France, and the references to how an EMP would be generated, and what is, and is not affected, is wholly inaccurate.
Should this have been the result of a nuclear bomb, malfunctioning electronics would be the least of anyone’s problems!
