A tropical detective story—and a wild race against time. Welcome to the island of Mystique—paradise for the richest and most famous! Here you’ll find breathtaking nature, crystal-clear sea, and coral. In the evenings, superstars of rock and pop will sing for you—because their homes are right next to yours. And if you’re murdered here by accident, the crime will be investigated personally… by the princess Margaret’s lady-in-waiting!
Lady Veronica Blake, a titled lady and a former lady-in-waiting to Her Royal Highness, is planning to throw a party on Mystique to celebrate Lili’s coming of age—her niece. But upon arriving on the island she learns a terrible piece of news: Amanda, Lili’s best friend, has vanished without a trace, and there are suspicions that no one will ever see her alive again. A crime? But Mystique is the safest place on Earth—everyone here is “one of us,” and she knows everyone well. No strangers on the island. An accident? Then where is the body?
Before the start of the festivities, Lady Vi must find the answer. And if it’s a murder—then the murderer too.
