Cosima Bell lived in the thrall of her father, a pianist who became obsessed with the music of Liszt and dedicated his life to mastering the complex music. (Cosima was named after the composer's daughter... creepy.)
When the story begins dear old Dad has just been convicted of murdering several young men in the basement. Cosima insists to the press that she had no idea what he was up to but, well, let's say she isn't out trying to prove him innocent either.
She has enough money to start a new life which she does by heading to a resort in Tahiti.Very peaceful and beautiful, except the couple a few cottages down keeps arguing about money. Nothing unusual about that, except that the quarrels are about ten million dollars. And the quarrels are getting nasty.
If another crime occurs, will Cosima be trying to explain she didn't know anything about this one too?
A tricky tale that caught me by surprise.
