Author Munshower captured my attention with the first chapter of her book. She took an interesting segment of the story and made it chapter one. By the time I got to chapter two, which took the reader back a bit, I was hooked. Anna Wallingham, the protagonist of the story, is in her later fifties and loses her last PR client. She is offered a job with Barton Pharmaceuticals as a tester for a secret product that will make her look thirty years younger. Since she has little savings and enjoys the good life, she accepts the job even though there are some things that don't seem to make sense. After all, who doesn't want to look on the outside as young as one feels on the inside. Unfortunately, people start to die around her as she starts to look younger and younger. She travels across Europe trying to discover the truth behind the product that might be too good to be true. The author does a good job bringing some of the characters to life, but I found myself uninterested in some of the other characters. I enjoyed some of her descriptions of food, and although some might find the story itself a bit farfetched, I had no issue with that aspect of the book. If you pick up a book that is about a product that will shave thirty years off your appearance, then don't be surprised if the storyline doesn't stick to pure facts. Enjoy it for what it is...a fun to read mystery with a farfetched concept that hits close to home for many people.
