Summary
A storm. A disappearance. A race against time....
Mustique is in a state of breathless calm as tropical storm Cristobal edges towards it across the Atlantic. Most villa owners have escaped the island but a few young socialites remain, unwilling to let summer's partying end. American heiress Amanda Fortini is one such thrill-seeker - until she heads out for a morning swim and doesn't return.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Wilton is just 28 years old and the island's only fully trained police officer. He quickly realises he needs to contact Lord and Lady Innerleithen, who bought the island decades ago and have invested time, money and love creating a paradise. Jasper is in St Lucia designing a new village of luxury villas but Lady Veronica (Vee to her friends) catches a plane immediately. Her beloved god-daughter, Lily, is on the island, and this disappearance has alarming echoes of what happened to Lily's mother many years ago. Lady Vee would never desert a friend in need, and she can keep a cool head in a crisis.
When Amanda's body is found, a murder investigation begins. Wilton knows the killer must be an islander because flights and ferry crossings have stopped due to the storm warning, but the local community isn't co-operating. And then the storm hits and someone else disappears.

It’s ok..
Well read and performed by the narrators, but too much elitism and name dropping to appeal to me. Story required too much suspension of belief even though I suspected it would. A cosy murder mystery and should be listed as such.

A perfect Winter read
Takes the reader to the sun kissed shores of Mystique. Clearly the author has written about an island she knows so very well. An entertaining but not challenging read!!

Please don't let this be the last.
I only bought this book out of curiosity after LOVING the author's autobiography.
Boy am I glad I did. I hope there will be more books to come.
Great story and characters.

A beautiful and thrilling page turner
I was drawn into the lives of the rich and famous on the beautiful island of Mustique. A fast paced murder mystery novel, not very realistic but genuinely enjoyed listening to it. Would recommend for anyone who wants to be drawn away into a different world of beautiful people,champagne and drama.

One to read not listen to
The sample of Jane Collingwood s voice sold me on the audible version of the book. But there isn't much of her voice and the other two readers' voices are unappealing (to me). I gave up after about 5 chapters. So definitely one to read. And the pronunciation of Mustique as 'Moostique' was a wind up, who knows maybe it's correct, but it's still a wind up.

Light and enjoyable
An escapism read, not taxing on the brain so perfect for holiday. Harriet Walter is great as one of the narrators, the male narrator is very good but there is some background noise on his parts which can be distracting
