About this listen

There's a murderer on the loose on a storm swept island cut off from the Scottish mainland. It's down to Losers Club, a quirky weight loss group led by the intrepid Penny Moon, to catch the culprit.

When Old Archie the postman is shot and ends up in Mrs Hubbard's ice cream freezer, the whole island is aghast. Especially Mr Hubbard, who objects strongly to having to move all the ice lollies into the other freezer. Newly divorced and desperate to make a life for herself and her teenage children, Penny Moon arrives on Vik just in the nick of time, before the island is cut off by a storm. Her weight loss business doesn't have the best of starts, when a series of blunders leads to it being called Losers Club. However, it does have the best of people—a decent, disparate bunch who decide that, with the police unlikely to arrive any time soon and a murderer on the loose, it is down to Losers Club to investigate. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they uncover a dark secret, kept by the older islanders for almost half a century. A secret that has come back to haunt them and threatens their very existence.

Good narration
Far fetched story line
Annoying lack of realism in the relationships and actions of the characters.
Apparently dedicated mother dumps her traumatised children into the care of their Grandparents (who live in Scotland, miles from their previous home in London so have mostly likely barely spent time with them!) while she strikes up a dubious, time consuming relationship with a near total stranger.
No spending time with the children, showing them round the island, making an effort to settle them in. Never a word to the Grandparents to ask if they're ok to spend time with the children, cook then meals, take them places.....she just heads off out every day with a man she's just met, trying to solve a mystery with a few other new acquaintances, from dawn to dusk.
The should all be in prison for interfering with murder scenes too
Absolutely ridiculous outbursts of swearing and potty talk that added nothing to the story
It could've been a really intersting story, so much better written.

Enjoyable but far from believable

I thought this would be a cosy mystery that would help me drop off to sleep. I didn't expect the laugh out loud moments. Yes, there's a fair bit of swearing and an implausible storyline but it was entertaining and well read.
