STORY:
Simon visits the Bahamas after a call by Lucy Wexall. Her husband Herbert is planning to do business with Gordon Tanner. Also he has an affair with his beautiful secretary Pauline Stone. When paper columnist Floyd Vosper appears on the scene a lot of bad blood is spilled. He has background stories about each and everyone of the Wexall visitors. Soon after that Vosper is found murdered on the beach seemingly struck down by an arrow.

OPINION: Although Vosper comments are quite wicked the rest of the dialogue often is rather bland.
