Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Actually it would have been hard to miss the large body of Sonia Wetherhead, sprawled on the drawing room floor with her head bashed in. Nor would it have been easy to overlook the equally dead Colonel and Mrs. Plumpton sitting at the green baize table, their cards - and eternity - spread out before them. But bridge teacher Cassie Swann also notices numerous connections both above-board and illicit among her seemingly respectable students at a stately Cotswold country house hotel. There's Ned Causobon, the dishy wine merchant with a suspicious lack of oenological knowledge, a strong interest in bridge teachers - and apparently a rather sordid past with Sonia. There's also the robust Felicity Carradine, who seems to have lifted Sonia's childhood recollections verbatim for use in the bestselling opus Love's Tempestuous Sea; and Thomas Lambert, a rather hapless journalist whose magazine profile of Sonia failed to please. On a more personal level, Cassie also detects a sudden calm in her formerly busy schedule and a serious drop in her bank account. She may only have discovered the victims, but others - particularly the tabloid press and future employers - see a clear connection between Cassie and violent death. As her career wilts, much like one of her unfortunate houseplants, Cassie decides to match her bridge-sharpened wits against a ruthless and desperate opponent. But winner will take all in this perilous game - and the stakes are life or death.
