This was a fun mystery but not always convincing. I had a hard time with the mix of facts and fiction since the story of the islands situation is true.

Ever since Lady Anne Glenconner wrote her memoir, I have loved her. If she narrates this one, I will absolutely cry upon it's release. I love her so much and respect her more than anyone has ever respects a Lady-In-Waiting. This book was so interesting and a little dramatized peek into the famed Mustique.

‘Murder on Mustique’ by Anne Glenconner gets a 4.5 stars ⭐️ think Death in Paradise meets Downton Abbey and that pretty much sums this brilliant book up.

I received an ARC of this book via netgalley. I had not realised who Anne Glenconner was. I am intrigued by the book and its mix with reality - in that it is populated by Anne Glenconner hersel (Lady Vee) and a host of the rich and famous alongside a smattering of locals.
It is not a bad book I think it follows the outline from a Writing 101 course - to split it into chunks (the 3 parts have no real purpose in my opinion); to write about what you know (setting and characters) To populate it with enough possible culprits.
I enjoyed learning a little bit about the Coral reef and thought the setting certainly added to the allure of the book. However it seemed almost too easy to solve. I am not sure that i would look for more of her murder mysteries but admit I am intrigued by her book about life with Princess Margaret.
