This is a story of high society, secrets, lies, blackmail, misunderstandings and deathly tension.
Evie is the main character and Lester has been careful not to overshadow her with the delectable Thomas Whitman or, his mother, the delightful Mrs Whitman. It‘s hard not to fall in love with these characters but the supporting characters are just that, coming in and out of the story to support or deter Evie where needed.
