Maggiori informazioni sul libro
It would have been hard to miss Sonia Wetherhead’s body sprawled on the drawing room floor, her head bashed in, or the equally dead Colonel and Mrs. Plumpton at the green baize table, their cards spread out before them. Bridge teacher Cassie Swann observes numerous connections, both legitimate and illicit, among her seemingly respectable students at a stately Cotswold country house hotel. There's Ned Causobon, a charming wine merchant with a suspicious lack of knowledge about wine and a sordid past with Sonia. Felicity Carradine, robust and ambitious, seems to have plagiarized Sonia's childhood stories for her bestselling novel, Love's Tempestuous Sea. Then there's Thomas Lambert, a hapless journalist whose profile of Sonia missed the mark. On a personal note, Cassie notices a sudden calm in her busy schedule and a troubling decline in her finances. Though she merely discovered the victims, the tabloid press and potential employers draw a clear connection between her and the violent deaths. As her career wilts like a neglected houseplant, Cassie resolves to use her bridge-sharpened wits against a ruthless opponent. In this perilous game, the stakes are nothing less than life or death.
