Odelia Babel is a wealthy widow on the verge of marrying Asher Bach, twenty-five years her junior. The family believes the relationship was rushed and that he is only after her money. The wedding is being held at Leopard Sands resort in South Africa. Odelia’s family – her daughter Bailey, sons Sam and Joshua, daughter-in-law Davina, and granddaughter Ruby – are with her at the resort. Gwen, Odelia’s best friend and assistant, is also along for the trip. Violett is the manager of the Leopard Sands resort and arranges the safari trips.
The story has a fast pace, the characters are well developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view from multiple perspectives. Everyone has a secret. If you like who-dun-it stories like Agatha Christie, you will enjoy reading this book.
