As Patrik juggles his job on the Spanish Waltzer with moonlighting for guesthouse regular, Charlie, Bonnie fears her boyfriend may be on the fast track to danger. He hits the headlines by saving a child from possible tragedy, but it’s touch and go whether he’ll wake up. And once the police track Charlie down, will he incriminate Patrik?

My Review
Entertaining, Intriguing True Romance
Jill Barry has a special way with words. I always enjoy her light-hearted yet thought-provoking books. Plus I love fun-fairs. Don’t we all? Jill has captured the innocence and excitement of those times right from the opening paragraphs.
Bonnie is a great character, perfect in this 1950s setting where danger lurks in the most unlikely places. Thoroughly recommend this novel with its nostalgic foray into that lovely era of the past.
