Six strangers are invited to a millionaire’s island where they are to stay in an old mansion, tended by the stuffy staff, until their host arrives. Soon, tensions rise among the group, before there a murder pushes them to panic. Everyone is a suspect but florist Barton fancies herself as a sleuth and is on the case. Intriguing mystery with complex motives she hones in on, providing a solution, this is a delight to the very end.
