Crime & Thrillers

The third mystery in the George and Molly Palmer-Jones series, following A Bird in the Hand and Come Death and High Water, by New York Times bestselling author Ann Cleeves.

Cheerful festivities take a dark turn when the groom's sister slips and tumbles to the perilous rocks below...

Newlyweds Jim and Sarah are welcomed home from their honeymoon to the Scottish island of Kinness with a huge celebration, and the whole island is present to witness the bitter end. But did Jim's younger sister Mary fall, or was she pushed?

George Palmer-Jones, retired birdwatcher and amateur detective, suspects the latter, but proving it will be difficult. No one wants to upset the balance of the island's ancient relationships. There are definitely secrets being hidden, and George, with Sarah's help, begins to piece together a tragic story he wishes he had never heard.
