The classic whodunnit gets a modern makeover.Fresh from a gruelling three-month assignment in East Africa, beautiful former MI6 agent Victoria West arrives at Raffles Hotel in Singapore to attend her friend’s wedding. But Victoria’s plans for a relaxing break end abruptly with news that the groom has been kidnapped. Warned not to contact the police, Victoria sets out to find him. But in this glamorous setting, nothing is quite what it seems.As the deadline to pay the ransom draws near, events take a deadly turn. Victoria suspects murder. But which of the wedding guests did it? They all have a motive… and a talent for lying. With time fast running out, Victoria must untangle the web of domestic squabbles, red herrings and false alibis before it is too late.
"The plot is the real feature of any mystery novel -- and this one had me quite hooked with its weaving of million-dollar business exchanges, investments, and communication tech. Love, loss and deceit might be tropes, but the way Virtue strung it all together still left me reeling and turning pages.." - The Peak Magazine
