Celebrated actress Lana Farrar has a close-knit group of friends, and she has always enjoyed spending time on the remote Greek island she bought with her first husband. Every year she invites her friends to spend time with her on the island. We think we know where this is going, but this trip is something different.
Through the eyes of our narrator Elliot Chase we come to know the characters of our story. We gain insight into their motivations and desires. We see their flaws, and we know that the story is going to be marred by a murder. 
Not everything is as it seems here. Cleverly structured, and with a definite nod to Agatha Christie, this is a great read.
Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review it before publication.
