Description
"This romantic mystery, filled with country-house atmosphere and cookery, offers an homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None . . . addictive." —Booklist
Faith Fairchild is asked to cater a very small, very private college reunion on an isolated New England island—an event that could be her dream job. But when she discovers the true reason for the get-together, not even the spectacular ocean views can keep it from turning into a nightmare. Thirty years ago, bestselling suspense writer Barbara Bailey Bishop lost her twin sister in a tower fall deemed a suicide. But Barbara is convinced that Hélène did not die by her own hand, and she's trapped Hélène's former classmates—her prime suspects—at her home with no phone lines, no cell reception, and no means of escape.
One by one, the alumnae fall prey to a madwoman. A disturbed sister's revenge . . . or a former coed's coverup? Faith must quickly unlock the secrets of Hélène's last night if she wants to leave the island alive.
"An intricately plotted novel that challenges readers." —The Boston Globe
"Page keeps the reader guessing to the very end. Cozy mystery buffs will enjoy trying to find the Christie references." —Library Journal (starred review)
"Readers of the series will relish this addition; Christie fans will enjoy an engaging tribute." —Publishers Weekly
"It may be impossible to surpass And Then There Were None, the obvious model here, but Page builds tension and makes us care about the suspects' troubled lives." —Kirkus Reviews
