I can't say I was wild about this book. There was a lot going on in this book. Jane has been thrust into the position of director of a huge international film festival at the last minute due to a scandal of the previous director. Everyone is jealous and seems like they are determined to deny her a moment of peace. Her boyfriend of seven years was going to accompany her on opening night and he's disappeared. Strangers come up to her, wanting to know particular information that her boy friend and his company have been involved with. She is on the board of the company, but not an active member. While she tries to call her boyfriend constantly, she really doesn't seem that upset. Throughout the whole festival she's just running from one fire to the next. As I said, a lot is going on, but you never really feel like you've got a grasp on what really is going on. Too many issue, not enough background. ( )
