AN ENCHANTING COZY MYSTERY FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I have loved this series from the very first book! Hope Ms. Dams keeps on writing them for a very long time.” Jan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “So great to have a protagonist of this age who is perceptive and intelligent . . . I can’t say enough about the characterisation!” Ratcliff
"Alderney's scenic beauty contrasts nicely with the villain's dark back business ground and evil plans" Publishers Weekly
What could be better than a fortnight’s break on the tiny old-fashioned Channel Island of Alderney? Dorothy and her husband are looking forward to a lovely peaceful vacation on the picturesque little island.
But it’s not to be.
Out on a twisty cliff-top walk, Dorothy spots something that changes everything. A body, lying broken on the rocks below.
Did he fall — or was he pushed?
All of Dorothy’s instincts tell her there’s more to this death, and this victim, than meets the eye — and that her vacation is going to have to wait.
Perfect for fans of Stella Cameron, Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands, or M.C. Beaton.
