A CEO’’s 70th on a private island leaves her heirs desperate to be the next one in the top job.

Geraldine’s heirs are her niece and two nephews. None of them are keen on each other and you won’t find any likeable characters in this family.

While I enjoyed the plot generally, I found the reveals quite predictable but I would put this down to having read way too many books in the last couple of years.

If you like a private island and you like watching the rich fight, you will love it.

Thank you to the publisher’s and Netgalley for the e-arc in exchange for and honest review.

The advanced publicity for this book piqued my interest, and although I'm not reading/reviewing as much as i used to, I thought it worth a crack

Quick sumnmary - CEO and owner of vast multinational company invites her nephews and neice to a 70th birthday party on an idyllic island to discuss her successor. None of them are nice people, and the plot gets more complicated when the CEOs obnoxious brother gatecrashes the celebrations and.....sorry, no plot spoilers!

What did I think - charactarisation was good- neither cardboard cut outs, nor obvious stereotypes (not always easy to achieve IMHO); location - well described, without being OTT - I could feel the sunlight as I was reading the book; plotting - sharp and tight, very well paced, definitely kept you on the page.

The ending/plot twist is always important. did I see it coming? Well, I made a guess and I was a little right, and dammitt, it was a good one - very left field!

Final comments - yes, very well worth a read - easily gets a place in my Highly Recommended category
