This is the first book I have read in this series. Although, it will not be my last one. Instantly, I connected with the storyline as well as the characters. What I liked the most was that the opening moments involving the younger Jim and the events that brought the story to the present state were not given in tons of details. The author just let the moments from that night play out through the story.

While, Jim may not be the most likable guy; you do feel for him a bit when he finds himself entrapped by his secret past. Alicia, the blackmailer is not someone that me the reader would be friends with as well.

Then there is Mike and Corinne. First, Corinne. It seems that she could not catch a break where it involved Jim. He had no remorse for his actions, which I do believe that he was guilty of taking advantage of Corinne. As far as lawyers are concerned, Mike Is a personable one. I did not experience a ruthless side to him in this book but the side I saw I liked. Also, I have to briefly talk about the ending. It let me with my wheels spinning. A perfect ending. All you need is just one night to read and finish One Night in Amboise. ( )
