About this listen
From the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of A Christmas Murder, Mary Grand
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…

This story picked up for me more towards the middle of the book. It felt a bit slow so I added the audio and it was read by Karen Cass. I prefer her in the role of the romantic comedies. It might just be me. The audio was ok and it helped the pace along a bit.
The trouble with living on an island is that everyone knows everyone and they are not shy about adding their own two penn'orth.
In this case the story is based on the Isle of Wight. The story centres around the main character Juliet. She has been living in China for a couple of years and returns home to visit her father who was involved in an accident or was it?….
Juliet has three sisters, Cassie the eldest a musician, Mira married to the local vicar, she is deaf but struggling in her marriage. Rosalind the youngest is the glamorous type with hidden secrets and she is not alone.
Juliet gets to see her Dad in hospital and as his life is about to expire, he whispers in her ear. He tells her not to trust anyone and there are secrets that someone will kill to stay buried. The killer is closer than she thinks. She must trust no one.
Juliet wonders what he is talking about but, it is too late to elaborate. Her father is gone.
Juliet is left to unpick what her father has said and this means ruffling feathers and asking some difficult questions, each question is met with resistance, then she has to be bolder as soon bodies are starting to drop and she is in the firing line trying to save her own life. All the time she is coming across as a nuisance as no one believes what she is saying. Will anyone believe her or come to her aid when she faces terrible danger?…
