Come Death and High Water

Descriere

<b>The second mystery in the George and Molly Palmer-Jones series, following <i>A Bird in the Hand,</i> by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Ann Cleeves.</b> <i>The picturesque, privately owned island of Gillibry off the North Devon coast turns out to be the perfect site for a murder...</i> A routine weekend visit by the Gillibry Bird Observatory Trust is made memorable by the owner's announcement that he is planning to sell the island. A sale would mean the end of the Observatory, which for some of the birders makes life worth living. A fire in Charlie Todd's cottage adds to their distress. When, the next morning, after a fierce storm, they find Charlie dead in a bird hide, their pleasant September weekend dons a dangerous new face. Charlie Todd's murder could have been the work of any member of the Trust. And it falls to one of their own, George Palmer-Jones, to unravel the identity of a killer within their midst.
