The Cakes of Monte Cristo (2015)
“Startled by the unexpected voice behind me, I let out a little squeal of alarm. Apparently I’d been so busy watching Natalie Archer bulldoze her way across the room I hadn’t heard Simone come up behind me. I shrugged lightly. “Nothing, really. Except . . . What do you know about her?”
“About Natalie?” Simone looked a little surprised by the question. “Don’t let her get to you. Her bark is far worse than her bite. Just don’t let her think that she’s made you nervous. I swear the woman can sm...ell fear. She’s been a member of the Vintage Clothing Society for as long as I can remember, though, and she’s got money and influence, but she can be a real pain in various body parts. Why?”
“She just told me that she’s a direct descendant of Gustave Toussaint. She wants me to turn over the necklace to her at the Belle Lune Ball in front of witnesses and reporters. She tried to convince me it would be good for business.”MoreLess
