Today on the blog I would like to spotlight a book that I am excited about reading, The Island by Mary Grand.
The Island
The
Island - where everyone knows everyone, and secrets are impossible to
keep...
‘Be careful, you
don’t know them as well as you think. Remember - anyone can kill.’
Juliet has returned to the Isle of
Wight from years abroad to visit her sick father and to be reunited with her
three sisters – Cassie, a professional musician who seems to have lost her way
in life, Mira, who is profoundly deaf, is married to the local vicar but their
relationship is falling apart, and Rosalind, glamorous and charming but now
deeply unhappy and secretive about her life.
As Juliet’s father lies dying, he
issues her with a warning. There is a killer on the loose, and they may be
closer than she can ever imagine. He anxiously tells Juliet that he confided a
family secret in son-in-law Rhys, and now regrets ever saying a word.
Days later, as the clock strikes
one in the morning, a man comes out of Rhys’s church, walks along the path and
is run down by a car driven by an unidentified person. When the finger of
suspicion points to Juliet, she realises the only way to clear her name is to
uncover the secrets her family has been keeping from her for years. But with a
killer on the loose, danger is getting closer all the time…
The Island is set on
the Isle of Wight - insular, claustrophobic, and where
secrets are hard to keep. Mary Grand's heart-stopping who-dunnits are
perfect for fans of Louise Candlish. Agatha Christie and Lucy Foley.
Sounds Interesting???
