The sun … the ocean … the farmhouse … the scammer… the police… the 3-legged dog?
George and Ellen have retired to sunny Mallorca. Social butterfly Ellen is itching to make yacht-owning friends .However, George’s heart is set on a secluded farmhouse in the country. Now they’re no longer living busy London lives. So, they’re beginning to realise they have very different ideas of happiness.
Private investigator Salva specialises in cases of adultery. That’s why it’s particularly embarrassing to realise that his long-term girlfriend has been cheating on him. He has no time to nurse a broken heart. In the meantime, his family who are the victims of a property scam needs his help urgently.
Robyn Chase is giving talks on her self-help book, No More Toxic Relationships – 7 Years, 7 Lessons. She’s finding it awkward being a relationship guru when her own boyfriend is avoiding her.
The sun is shining in Mallorca and everything looks beautiful. But the residents of one particular apartment block are about to discover it all might be too good to be true.

Tipping Point Review:
Drama, mystery, and secrets, oh my,
Tipping point takes you on entertaining ride
The author describes her characters in a very nice manner, where you immediately connect to them. I loved all the story-lines and the way the author juggled between them. Moreover, the author beautifully highlights how some relationships are at their tipping point, and how a small push can change people’s lives.
The author made their relationship interesting and I loved Salva and Robyn. I thought both of them were dynamic. Also, I really disliked Ellen in the story. She is selfish, manipulative, and someone you just love to hate. At the same time, I loved George and Salva as the male leads. What’s interesting is how the author paints the male characters in a vulnerable light. In many such stories, the men come across as conniving, making you root for the female protagonist. But, in this story, my heart went out to the male leads. Although George is petty in some ways, I felt bad for his toxic relationship. Salva is adorable with his sense of humor, his role as the detective, and his love for Robyn.
My only criticism in the story is that it is a bit slow in the beginning. The author takes time to setup the plot and the relationship between the characters. However, once the author set the plots, the story picks up full speed midway. Also, there are quite a few twists which I did not anticipate. There is also an element of suspense, where you don’t know how all the characters connect to each other. Furthermore, I also liked the mystery element of the three legged dog, and the scam that causes the rift.
Overall, “Tipping Point” turned out to be a fun read.
