This is about 4 women with very tenuous links - apart from Bev and Petra who are best friends. There are a few twists and turns to keep the reader guessing, some vivid descriptions, especially of Africa. Bev and Petra were not the most likeable of people and not much was said about Lorrie (the American) or Li-Jing (the Chinese lady). It was an easy book to whizz through with some thought provoking topics.
