A gorgeous island off the English coast, a beautiful hotel perched on the cliffs, a group of glamourous friends... and a suspicious death? Kitty Underhay's invitation didn't mention murder!

Spring, 1936. As the boat draws into the harbour of Bird Island, Kitty is absolutely delighted to see the stunning hotel for the first time. She and her friend Alice have been asked to join the distinguished guests before the hotel officially opens its doors, but they have barely unpacked when the owner is found dead in his own study...

Sir Norman's death looks like suicide. But Kitty isn't convinced - she cannot find a note, and he is left-handed but was shot on the right side of his head. Kitty tries to reach the police, but a violent storm engulfs the island and the power goes out. Kitty and Alice need to move quickly before anyone else finds death on their dinner menu!

With several old friends amongst their suspects, Kitty decides the investigation should stay secret. But it's not until Kitty uncovers Sir Norman's financial difficulties that she's on the killer's trail. Can Kitty and Alice catch the culprit in time for tea, or will they become the next guests on the murderer's list?

Fans of T.E. Kinsey, Agatha Christie or Lee Strauss will adore this warm and witty whodunnit. An utter delight to read!
