She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending Steve an SOS...

Ratings and reviews

This was a mess. Too many characters, and too convoluted. Totally devoid of the charm that makes TMC so appealing. I gave up just over halfway through and won't be reading the next in this series. A real shame as I really wanted to like this.

This was a funny, small-town, globe-trotting, poignant, quintessentially British murder mystery. I loved all the characters, big and small. Can't wait for the next one.

I absolutely loved this book. All the characters were my favourite. Twists and turns in every chapter. You don't need a passport if you read.
