About this listen

Sir William Benedict, a working-class man turned entrepreneur, has everything money can buy, including an island paradise in the Caribbean. The only thing he is missing is acceptance from society's elite.

When he begins to fund Andrew Maynard MP, a rising political star, he has what he has always wanted within reach. But political scandal soon erupts, and William finds himself an outcast once again.

Desperate, he turns to Andrew's ex-lover to plot his retribution. Soon his island goes from paradise to the backdrop for revenge.

Great storyline. Something totally new. A little raunchy without being gross. Loved everything about it.

Brilliant

Initially I struggled to get into this. I persevered and eventually could link it all together. It’s not like any of this authors previous books and isn’t one I particularly enjoyed

A lot of moving parts & a lot of characters to follow, none of which I could connect with, which was a shame

A surprise from Lynda, not her usual type of crime story

A modern horror story

Interesting

such a terrible book, poor characters, poor story, got totally nutty at points through to a simpering end

was this Lynda La Planet???

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The rubric gives no indication of the main content. I was expecting a criminal/political thriller.
Disappointed to find a serious subject used for titillation.

Tacky and exploitative
