I got this as a very welcome raffle prize from West Sussex Writers.
This is an unusual book. It is written from a number of points of view.
It is very dark even for a murder story. The writer hints at
ghosts, possession and superstitions while the events of the book are
all real. The island has a distinct personality and nobody can shake
the atmosphere of menace enhanced by the stormy weather.
There is an element of coincidence in the characters collected on this
remote island but this is not unusual in a whodunnit. The setting where
even the mobile phone signal and the electricity supply is patchy is
ideal for a murder mystery.
The denouement is very satisfying but you will get no spoilers from me!
