Review: Murder on Mustique
Gaby Meares
Not for me I’m afraid. A thinly disguised addendum to Glenconner’s autobiography, [b:Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown|49945845|Lady in Waiting My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown|Anne Glenconner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1563783312l/49945845.SX50_SY75.jpg|72234785]. All the name dropping was grating, and her ownership of the island smacks too much of white entitlement and colonialism. The final straw was Lady Vee exclaiming how right it had been to ‘buy’ an education for one of the locals - yuck!
The writing was ordinary, and I’ve seen better plots on Death in Paradise. I didn’t even make it to page 100 - life is too short!
