Verity Birdwood No 1. The old crowd had gathered at Aunt Alice's once again - to pick apples against a chilly orchard setting in Australia's Blue Mountains. Beneath the surface were the usual boiling jealousies, frustrations and uneasy gaps between the generations and in-laws. There's the uptight head of the family and her submissive husband, the hard to please siblings, the shy daughter-in-law, a kindly neighbour, a few intellectuals from the other end of town, a little girl with an agenda, a feisty TV researcher and a lounging Lothario. And the next morning, there's a corpse - and everyone's a suspect.
