Love, letters and lethal infidelity among friends
In the opening chapter, one of the group, Elizabeth Price, writes to private detective Roland ‘Orlando’ Gibbons asking him to investigate her philanderer husband whom she suspects is having an affair. Her correspondence unwittingly opens up a real can of worms.
The plot revolves around four married couples, who on the face of things were best of friends back in the day — even taking holidays together — but are now estranged, even though they are all still married to each other and live only streets apart.
