About this title

Synopsis

Intrigue unfolds on a tropical isle as a quiet family mystery deepens into something darker and more personal.

A pair of English visitors in Reunion observe a strange household shadowed by a mysterious master, amid moonlit gardens, rumours, and sudden sounds from the bakery and beyond. When their companion’s eccentric uncle and a poised cousin become entangled in questions of inheritance and loyalty, the line between courtesy and danger grows thin. The story builds atmosphere through mood, dialogue, and the lure of hidden agendas, drawing you toward a suspenseful, unrevealed outcome.

A tropical setting with a moody, nocturnal ambience
A cast of wary relatives and a shadowy, controlling figure
Tension around wills, money, and the meaning of family
Subtle shifts in power and trust that keep the reader guessing

Ideal for readers of classic late 19th‑century mysteries and atmospheric tales of inheritance and deception set against a lush, evocative backdrop.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
