Hollywood Balaton
TOO LATE FOR PRINCE CHARMING?
It used to be said that a single woman of a certain age is more likely to be killed by a terrorist than get married.
But when terror strikes, love strikes too.
Laura McLove takes a Christmas shopping trip to Paris and falls into the arms of a handsome Hungarian, Max, in the midst of a terror attack.
Six months later and engaged to be married, she arrives at Max’s family villa on Hungary’s Lake Balaton whilst he attends to his sick mother in Budapest.
Alone at Levendula—Lavender Villa—on the Hungarian Riviera, she encounters caretaker Mrs Szabó and stumbles on a real-life spy ring, a missing manuscript—and a mystery that leads all the way to Hollywood.
Levendula, once famous as an artists’ salon, had been under surveillance by the communist regime. What happened when the secret police came one night in 1972? And where is the missing manuscript?
In a world where everyone had been informing on everybody else, Laura attempts to uncover the truth—all the while fiancé Max is delayed, then delayed again in Budapest as their engagement begins to hang in the balance.
This light-hearted literary romance is set around the little-known Lake Balaton—the largest lake in Europe—in particular, at the stunning 'Hungarian Riviera' region.
