Odile Annesley has been living in self-imposed exile in France for forty years following a family tragedy. With her eightieth birthday approaching, she contacts her scattered grandchildren to give them details of her will. The five very different granddaughters see it as the perfect opportunity for a get-together. There’s solidly married Clemency, the perfect wife and mother; ambitious London property dealer, Madeleine; chic Parisian dress designer, Elodie; academic Isabelle from Quebec; and poor, deprived Cherie, the misfit. And Harry, the golden boy. Each has grown up in their own world but, as in all families, the shared characteristics are there. Then the killing starts, the secrets spill, and it becomes clear that one of them is very different indeed.
