Introduction: Set in Dorset, where Minette now lives, the book explores the tragedy of a woman who is drugged and brutally raped before being thrown into the sea to drown. While the Dorset coast forms part of the backdrop, the canvas is a narrow one, with only three suspects. Each one is portrayed in depth, and the solution to the brutal crime ultimately lies in deciphering the motivations that fuel their fateful actions.
