From the back cover:

"Twenty-five-year-old Lizzie Bartholomew has had more than her fair share of struggles. Abandoned as a baby, she spent her childhood moving between foster homes. Now she is running away from her past... A holiday in Morocco seems to be the perfect escape. Especially when she meets Philip, a fellow tourist who distracts her from her troubles. After a brief affair, Lizzie returns to England. Then she receives a solicitor's letter: Philip Samson has died. In his will, he has left Lizzie a gift of £15 000. But there are conditions attached to this unexpected legacy that will soon force Lizzie to confront her terrifying secrets..."

I might have said a few times that Vera Stanhope and Shetland books are so much better than her other books which have been ok but nothing special. This one started the same way and it was bit of a struggle at first. But it did get better after the first body was found. Lizzie is a complex character that you at times sympathise and at times you just don't like her. Cleeves manages not to reveal too much too soon. Though, it was at times perhaps a bit unbelievable.
