The premise of this story, and the origin of the title, is that a murder story begins long before the actual murder, with the characters coming together and finally converging on the zero hour-- the murder itself.
In this book, the characters are: a retired judge, an old lady, an Englishman from Malaysia, a suicide survivor, and a tennis professional, along with the tennis pro's young wife... and his older ex-wife. This is an obvious recipe for disaster! I like that this mystery is not solved by a detective, but by a regular person.
