Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover -- a married man Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with -- motherhood Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes -- until a ghost from her past turns up At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new at "The Londoner," the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or "almost "everything. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events, each one will find their biggest secret revealed. In "Cocktails for Three," Madeleine Wickham combines her trademark humor with remarkable insight to create an edgy, romantic tale of secrets, strangers, and a splash of scandal.… (plus d'informations)
Interestingly, this is the weakest Wickham books I've read so far. Still with charm and lovely characters, but almost too predictable and while it was a pleasant way to kill a short flight, it wasn't spectacular. ( )
I read this book once I discovered this is really Sophie Kinsella before the Sophaholic books. It is interesting to see the seeds of her transformation as a writer. ( )
Disappointed that there was nothing humorous. Felt sorry for the three friends realizing that the relationship was work related and nothing else. Maggie as a new mother was the most realistic with her feelings. Candice had hang ups about her father's past and was unbelievable in her faith of Heather as former waitress/employee/roommate that you felt sorry for her. Roxanne's secret lover was better than I thought he would be. ( )
This book was absolutely brilliant! I love Madeleine Wickham and tins was another lovely show of her talent. The characters are so easy to love and hate. And of course you can't help but hope that someday you will have friends like the three ladies in this book. And of course the cocktail club is a must. But this book was a brilliant tale about love, life and friendship... And how you should always be cautious when it comes to people who seem to be nice. They might as well be psychopaths.

Many thanks to my agent Araminta Whitley, to Linda Evans and Sally Gaminara and all at Transworld, for their constant enthusiasm and encouragement during the writing of this book. To my parents and sisters for their continual, cheerful support and to my friends Ana-Maria and George Mosley, for always being there with a cocktail shaker at the ready. and finally to my husband Henry, without wom this book would have been impossible, and to whom it is dedicated.

Candice Brewin pushed open the heavy glass door of the Manhattan Bar and felt the familiar swell of warmth, noise, light and clatter rush over her.

Then, without speaking, the three turned and slowly walked back across the grass to the party.
