About this listen

THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES #3

The third instalment in a gripping and atmospheric crime series set on a small island where there is no escape . . .

‘Gripping, clever and impossible to put down' Erin Kelly

INTRUDERS HERE ARE BOUND TO DIE . . .

As the sun sets on a cold November evening, the tiny community of St Agnes prepares for their annual Fifth-of-November festivities. Moments before the fireworks are scheduled to commence, an islander discovers a charred body left on the bonfire, and quickly it becomes clear that a killer is at large.

Ben Kitto is the Deputy Chief of Police for the Scilly Isles, and with a killer on the loose, he has no choice but to forbid all residents from leaving the island. With a population of just eighty people, everyone is a suspect and no one is safe.

When threats start appearing, written in the old Cornish language, Ben suspects that the killer’s motive is to rid the island of the newcomers who threaten their traditions. With time running out, Ben hurries to discover the secrets of the island’s peculiar residents, but he knows it’s only a matter of time before another fire is started . . .

No place to run.
No place to hide.

Critic reviews

"Gripping, clever and impossible to put down." (Erin Kelly)

Most relevant

I’ve read all three books, very pleasant and you feel you get to know the characters. This felt a bit like a Shetland story... I’d like Kitto to solve a murder with his own mind, it does feel like he ‘stumbles’ across what’s happened.. that said enjoyed listening and narrative is great!!
