Seven strangers meet by chance on a Caribbean island and form a charmed circle of lasting friendships. Newly qualified London doctor, Joanna Lyndhurst, is taking a well-earned break on the romantic island of Antigua - ten days of glorious sunshine, without anyone knowing she's a doctor. But Jo is not the only one with a secret. Amongst the enchanting and diverse bunch of characters she meets, it turns out not one is quite what they seem. Lowell, the American lawyer, and Vincent, an art-dealer from Amsterdam, have travelled the world in a long-standing relationship, while maintaining separate lives and private worlds that do not overlap. Feisty New York banking executive, Merrily Morgenstern, keeps them all in stitches with her lurid tales of Manhattan high-life yet conceals her real anxiety about the threat to her own career. Sandy-haired Jessica, steeped in a world of culture and classical music, mourns a lost love whom she dare not discuss. And Cora Louise and Fontaine, mother and daughter from the steamy South, keep up appearances and dread the exposure of their own murky secret. By mutual consent, the holiday becomes an annual tradition as close friendships develop and the group starts to meet on each other's home ground. Yet the Caribbean sunshine has its own darker side. Someone is on the trail of a killer ... -
