The beautiful resort is 'Sunset Villa' and the young owners are good friends of Kate.Matthew Kane, a fastidious impossible to please writer for a Travel Guide publication has written a scathing review of 'Sunset Villa', totally malicious and untrue, and the young most amicable owners, Nolan and Anna, have invited him back at their own expense for a hopeful retraction. There are other guests at the villa, each carrying their own variable dimensions of personality traits - anger, joy, strong, weak... Within this composite framework which is Stranger at Sunset a murder occurs...and along comes a mysterious English stranger.The reader can weave through the tangled webs of the tale and discover the true essence of the story - no spoilers from this reviewer.Ms Baylee's first novel gives thorough treatment to the characters and the story, acquitting herself well in her initial efforts in a full-length novel. Stranger at Sunset is an interesting and enjoyable read.
