This is an exciting read about an anti-terrorist undercover agent who is ordered to get a new identity and live on his catamaran (Golden Girl)off a Caribbean swampland. His new identity invites a job offer to run guns for a Colombian drugs gang. But then he learns of a more sinister threat behind the cocaine shipments. This story is based on a full-length screen play by Alistair MacLean.

This is "a 5 star beach read" - or "5 star by the pool read".
Typical Jackie Collins love story set amongst super stars. This ohe is about a superstar by the name of Nick Angel form the mid west who rises out of poverty to become rich and famous in NYC. He meets a naive and beautiful young girl who is learning fast about men, money and life.
I like this book because it is fast moving and because it is something to get your teeth into - 568 pages - a great vacation read.

Loved this book. Easy to read, difficult to put down! Good writing style - not too prosey!

The lead character is Tana Roberts, a very successful lawyer who puts her career before marriage and children. During the 60s she gets satisfaction from her career, friendships and affairs but eventually decides she is still missing something. The characters really come to life in this book and the ending is precious!

I enjoyed this book but thought the ending was a little weak - and a little disappointing. It is a very light weight read - not too believable - requiring not much concentraton, so an ideal book for the end of the day, or on vacation.

Tedious and too long. Very little content/information in very drawn-out prose. Just could not get going with this book. Having read Wild Swans which is an autobiographical book about 5 times the length of Red Azalea, I was incredibily disappointed with this book. This is not the book to read if you want to truly understand the culture of China and how people survived the hardships and restrictions of the Mao regime.

One reader commented that mention was made in this book of expensive medications and said that would be inaccurate because of NHS in the UK. In actual fact the NHS did not exist prior to 1948 so the author of this book referring to expensive medications is absolutely accurate.

Another Simon Gandolfi thriller set in the Caribbean. A 13 year old boy witnesses a plane crash carrying a load of cocaine - he buries the cocaine but keeps silent out of fear. The lead character - an ex-British spy - helps in an operation where the 13 year old boy, who is now being hunted down, holds the key to the mystery. A great read - hard to put down!!
