    About this ebook

    An idyllic island holds a dark secret . . . - On a hot August day in 1994, 76 holidaymakers travel to an island off the North Norfolk coast. Only 75 return alive – a young man is murdered, the case left unsolved. Twenty years later, using state-of-the-art forensics, the DNA results of a bloodsoaked towel prompts DI Peter Shaw to summon all 75 original suspects to a mass screening, but one of them, the beautiful Marianne Osbourne, is found dead in her bed. Is there a link to the 1994 murder? DI Shaw and DS Valentine become immersed in the dark secrets of an isolated community.

      Another excellent DI Peter Shaw story, this time most of the action centred in and around Wells-Next-The-Sea and Creake in North Norfolk. Shaw is leading a cold case review of an old murder near Wells when some unexplained, suspicious deaths in Creake appear linked in some way. What seemed a straightforward case review using new DNA analysis suddenly appears to be leading to dead ends. Lots of plot twists leave the reader guessing until the end. Particularly enjoyable for me as many of the locations were authentic, apart from the murder spot, and familiar from my childhood.
