Another endearing, hilarious novel by Kate Galley! I’ve been waiting for this since I read Old Girls Behaving Badly. It’s well-written with delightful characters. I enjoyed being a part of another adventure with Gina and Dorothy!! This was such a fun read and looking forward to the next!
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Gina’s husband left her for another woman and at 71 Gina is rather upended. That is until she meets Dorothy, a sprightly 89 year old who has rather more than a spring in her step and attitude to life. They get on famously (Old Girls behaving badly book) so when Dorothy suggests Gina takes on a temporary role to look after one of Dorothy’s old friends, Meredith and her husband, she happily agrees, however Dorothy wants Gina to do some sleuthing. Over fifty years ago there was a group of friends who did something that should really stay in the past, however Meredith wants to publish a book and Dorothy doesn't want a starring role in it. Hopefully Gina can find out more and keep Dorothy's anonymity.

Although the second in the series this happily stands alone. I adore this series. It's a great mix of humour, drama and more. Both Dorothy and Gina are great characters in differing ways and have those qualities we all hope we can aspire to especially in later life. An uplifting, wonderful read that left me with a smile and hoping very much that there's more to come from this duo. Loved it.

The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape is a delightful story filled with cleverness, humor, and a touch of mystery. It explores themes of friendship and loyalty as Gina navigates Meredith’s memories while caring for her husband. Readers can look forward to being transported to the beautiful scenery of Provence, where humor, mystery, and some romantic moments come together.

If you’re a fan of women’s fiction or feel-good novels, you’ll find Kate Galley’s writing simple and easily understandable. The characters in the story are very natural, each character has its own tone and attitude. This is a fascinating aspect of the interaction between Gina and Dorothy and between Gina and Meredith. I highly recommend this book 😍

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources, NetGalley, and Boldwood Books for allowing me to read and review this book.

An adorable story of friendship that passes all ages. Combining a mystery with a good ole gals story kept you wondering till the end. Apparently there are more stories featuring Gina and Dorothy. Coming in late to book four has me excited to hunt the others down and find out what other trouble they have caused. Lovable characters, relatable problems and entertaining for many age groups. Don’t let the “Old Girls” scare you away fro a cute, easy read.

I do like Kate Galley books and her newest, The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape was no exception. It was so enjoyable!

I adored this book. Upbeat, cute read with love and charm, and quite a few twists. Absolutely precious.
Gina, in her seventies accepts a position as a caregiver and flies to France to take on the task. According to her friend and neighbor, Dorothy, who found this job for her, Gina is to snoop a little into the past of the woman, Meredith, whom she will be caring for. Dorothy finds out Meredith is writing her memoir that might reveal some dirt and Gina unknowingly becomes submerged in a lot more drama she intended on this adventure.

This was an uplifting novel about friendships, second chances and growing old. Meredith decides to write her memoir. When Dorothy finds out that Meredith is writing she sends Gina, her carer, to help be Meredith and Gerald’s carer. When Dorothy and Meredith were younger, they were best friends from the art world but have been estranged for decades. Dorothy wants Gina to spy and find out what Meredith is writing. She is worried that secrets in their past will be written.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for my copy.
