Charmed Circle

the long version

To Antigua--land of endless summer, silver sand, and beckoning sea--Dr. Joanna Lyndhurst flees her native London, where she meets six fellow vacationers. There's Lowell and Vincent, bound at the soul and divided by secrets. Cora Louise and Fontaine, mother and daughter, whose penchant for travel masks a flight from shame. Jessica, in mourning for a lost love she dare not expose. And Merrily, whose hard edges will soften at the touch of friends and who will face a challenge of the heart beyond her wildest imagining. All are memorably enchanting. And beneath an island sun that casts a long, dark shadow, one of them is in the throes of a deadly and terrifying charade.
