Sweet Jesus, this is it! Or maybe not.
Perpetually foiled romance heroine Island Chaptal and reformed cleaning expert March —or is it Mr. November?— are enjoying a pleasant break in South-Africa, after brushing death in the inhospitable and platypus-infested mountains of Liechtenstein...
That is, until a commercial flight disintegrates over the Atlantic, killing hundreds, and Island's supervillain dad makes the news as the mastermind behind the attack. Old Lion Dries is now on the run, and he calls upon his last ally —and favorite disciple— March.
From the streets of Venice to the turquoise waters of French Polynesia, March and Island embark on a deadly race against the clock to find out what secrets lie behind Dries’s downfall, and stop the mysterious “Crystal Whisperer” before it’s too late. This time, though, there might just be no winning against futuristic weapons, CIA agents, Roomba cats, (reluctantly) evil henchmen, and dads who won’t let you get your groove on, dammit!
Industry Reviews
"A smart, funny, emotional and tumultuous adventure that kept my heart in its grip throughout, even as the ending decided to do a tapdance on it. So, *distractedly* yes, I definitely recommend this, though I suggest starting from the beginning so you can get the full March and Island effect. I need it to be May right now." --After Dark Book Lovers
"This one was a rare gem indeed! Crystal Whisperer is my favorite book in the entire series! It’s a bit more suspenseful than the others, but it's still lighthearted! Camilla Monk is a great author! I have never seen an author who can combine serious and playful without overdoing it in a way!" --Letters on Canvas
"With a unique voice all her own, Monk’s Spotless series is hard to place into a single genre. Monk refuses to fit in the box that is one specific genre as she masterfully weaves a story that is both action-packed and romantic with a bit of suspense to round it all out. " --Rainy Thursdays
"It was glorious.
I just love this series.
A satire about romance novels in a romance novel? It started with Spotless, but it continued in Beating Ruby and Crystal Whisperer in all its fantastic glory. Yes. It continues.
And when you think it can't get any better, you end up in a pool with dolphins." --Becca Reads a Lot
"I can’t pinpoint exactly what makes this series so great. I know that I spend the majority of my time reading with a grin on my face. The heroine Island (I know, strange name) is quirky and extremely funny. We get her thoughts warts and all. Island is a romantic at heart who has waited her whole life for Mr. Right. Now that she thinks she’s found him, she’s trying her hardest to finally get past third base. Unfortunately, bombs, machine guns and sniper rifles seem to always distract them just before the deed is done." --Stacey is Sassy
