Description
Privilege has a price. But who will pay it?
On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor as CEO of the lucrative global empire founded by their grandfather.
Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour.
As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize? Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve?

The advanced publicity for this book piqued my interest, and although I'm not reading/reviewing as much as i used to, I thought it worth a crack
Quick sumnmary - CEO and owner of vast multinational company invites her nephews and neice to a 70th birthday party on an idyllic island to discuss her successor. None of them are nice people, and the plot gets more complicated when the CEOs obnoxious brother gatecrashes the celebrations and.....sorry, no plot spoilers!
What did I think - charactarisation was good- neither cardboard cut outs, nor obvious stereotypes (not always easy to achieve IMHO); location - well described, without being OTT - I could feel the sunlight as I was reading the book; plotting - sharp and tight, very well paced, definitely kept you on the page.
The ending/plot twist is always important. did I see it coming? Well, I made a guess and I was a little right, and dammitt, it was a good one - very left field!
Final comments - yes, very well worth a read - easily gets a place in my Highly Recommended category
