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.

Really enjoyed this audiobook
I’ve never been to Mustique but I’ve been nearby to Bequia, a long time ago. This brought it all back beautifully, I loved the story, the characters, the scenery, and the narrators.

More like this please from Lady Glenconner
The story was engaging, and the performances first class. I could almost feel the warm breezes and the sand between my toes.

3* Good but a bit slow
I found this book to be a little slow and It took me a while to get into it. I did enjoy the island setting, and enjoyed the second half where there was more action and the story begins unravelling and questions are answered, but overall unfortunately it wasn’t my favourite, it just felt it was missing something. I would give more a try from the author though!
The narration however was pretty good.

Really enjoyable
This is an excellent listen. I very much liked the two main narrators: Harriet Walter in particular is excellent as Lady Vee, with the perfect intonation and accent for a woman of that age and background. I found the descriptions of Mustique (correctly pronounced throughout, in my opinion, given that it originates from the French word moustique) added to the story - it sounds idyllic. The story itself kept me involved throughout. If you are expecting a fast paced thriller then it is not that, but it doesn’t set out to be.

Name dropping
Enjoyed this ‘cosy murder’, apart from the constant name dropping of Princess Margaret, and others. It became quite tiresome.

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.
