''A cracking example of cozy crime!'' Katie Fforde

When Sophie Sayers joins a writers' retreat, she’s hoping to find inspiration and perhaps a little adventure! Away from her comfort zone and the small village of Wendlebury Barrow, Sophie plans to relax and take stock of her life.

But scarcely has the writing course begun when bestselling romantic novelist Marina Milanese disappears on a solo excursion to an old windmill. First on the scene, Sophie is prime suspect for Marina's murder, but when a storm prevents the police from landing on the island to investigate, Sophie must try to solve the crime herself - not easy, when everyone at the retreat has a motive.

Can Sophie uncover the truth about who really killed Marina, or will this be the one case that Sophie can’t solve?

Perfect for fans of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series.
