Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A page-turning murder-mystery about identity, full of surprising twists, from the award-winning author of High-Rise Mystery and The Good Turn.

Last night Wesley and his friends Josephine and Margot threw their neighbour Rachel a surprise birthday party.

This morning, Rachel is dead.

And Wesley is the one who finds her body.


Rachel's friends throw a traditional Caribbean Nine Night celebration to help guide her soul to the next world. But Wesley, Margot and Josephine don't have time to mourn Rachel. They are determined to find out who did this - and find out what secrets Rachel was keeping...

Praise for Sharna Jackson:

'I utterly loved The Good Turn; it's bone-deep brilliant; a joy to the very end. It's so warm and so funny, and so ferociously on the side of justice and of hope. I adored it.' - Katherine Rundell

A funny, warm and thought-provoking celebration of community of all kinds

Jackson's voice is distinct and original, while her deft characterisation and evocation of place make for a funny, engaging modern mystery.
