My Review:-This is Book One in "A Dolly Mystery." The cover is what I noticed and I thought it would be a good holiday read and I wasn't wrong.

 Rita is a Scottish make-up artist who has come to Madeira to see if she can find out who killed Kim-Jim, an American make-up supremo. Johnson is the opposite to Rita, he's quiet and a bit moody and we also have Dolly his boat.

There is so much going on as the plot moves along, you'll find some of the things that Rita comes out with funny. I loved this book for the start, the twist just kept coming. Looking forward to Book Two.
