On a private island off the west coast of Scotland, the Agarwals gather for a much-awaited family reunion.

Shalini, the fragile mother, who longs to see her family healed.

Myra, the eldest daughter and golden child, who, unbeknownst to the family, is on the brink of bankruptcy.

Aseem, the son and supposed heir, who must choose between his wife and his family.

Critics Review

Sakhlecha’s third novel is a heady broth of secrets and lies; she expertly ratchets up the tension as anger and resentment simmering below the surface gradually come to a head and result in murder.
Guardian
With echoes of the TV dramas Succession and The White Lotus, but also of Agatha Christie and The Traitors, Trisha Sakhlecha’s third novel centres on a wealthy Indian family, the Agarwals, who gather on a Scottish island to celebrate Papa and Mama’s wedding anniversary... As the family crisis unfolds, Sakhlecha displays a Christie-like knack for misdirection, framing everyone on the island as at once a potential victim and a potential killer.

Compelling and taut, if you adored Succession, you’ll love this!
