I just started 
Other People's Money: A Novel

"At this time of year, Antibes is at its best. The almond blossom is out, the sea loses its darkness, the cold rains have mostly been swept mysteriously away, the mistral has cleared has cleared the skies and the geraniums are being planted out."


Seems like a nice, tranquil start to a book about money. It makes me wish it was springtime here. I am only a few chapters into the book and it is anything but tranquil at this point.
