About this listen

THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES #4

The fourth 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

AN ISLAND ON LOCKDOWN. A KILLER ON THE LOOSE . . .

As the scorching summer sun covers the small Scilly island of St Mary’s, DI Ben Kitto and his team are training for the annual Swimathon. But their morning session comes to a climactic end when they discover a body hanging from Pulpit Rock. The victim has been dressed up in a bridal gown, and Ben quickly realises that a dark and sinister killer is at large on the island.

To prevent the killer from escaping, Ben has no choice but to lock down St Mary’s, yet in doing so he is unwillingly trapping the killer’s next victim. When another woman is attacked, Ben gathers the island’s at-risk residents inside the local hotel for safety, but the killer is already watching and remains one step ahead . . .

Everyone is a suspect. No one is safe.

Stephen Perring was superb as the narrator, but this fourth book in the series was nowhere near as good as the first three. The proposition was a good one but the stupidity of action and lack of proper thought displayed by Ben Kitto in this book was disappointing. With the vast array of those with a supposed motive there was a lot of jumping to - incorrect - conclusions without any evidence, which was obvious and irritating. I got the feeling that he was an amateur sleuth rather than a professional policeman - a poor relation to his character in previous books. It made the book feel lightweight rather than a good detective novel. Hopefully any further books in the series will return Ben to his previous stature.

Not a patch on the first three Kitto novels
