The sudden death of Guy Brouard after his morning swim shocks the residents of Guernsey. A generous patron and benefactor of the island since his arrival there a decade ago, his demise puts a question mark over many cherished projects. When a young American woman is charged with the murder, her brother seeks help from the only contact he has in the UK - Deborah St James. Deborah is horrified to find that her old friend has been arrested and persuades her husband Simon to accompany her to Guernsey to avert this miscarriage of justice. There they find a tangled web of deceit and betrayal, with its origins in wartime occupation. In solving the crime, they must rely on their long-standing friendship with Inspector Lynley; they must also learn painful lessons about loyalty and trust, and the loving tyranny of family ties.

This book was very intriguing. I really enjoyed the value Deborah placed on her friendship with China and the development of her marriage relationship with Simon. The story line really never led you to the murderer until the last few chapters. The history and different family scenarios really provided much excitement and intrigue to the story. It really rates high in my reading list. Thanks, Elizabeth, for such a true chiller.

Plot not up to Elizabeth George's usual excellence, but story held my interest and the writing is fine.
