Publisher's summary

An isolated community...a web of secrets...a mysterious death.

When a body washes up on the shores of Brownsea Island, DCI Lesley Clarke initially suspects suicide. But as she gets closer to the island's close-knit community, she starts to suspect foul play.

Why did the victim argue with her closest friend days before her death? What secrets is the victim's manager keeping? And can Lesley get to the bottom of the mystery before someone else dies?

The Island Murders is a tense, gripping crime novel perfect for anyone who's imagined living in a coastal idyll and wondered if it's really all it seems.

A different narrator, please

I’ve really been enjoying this series but the narration is so terrible it’s hard to listen to at times.

Women’s friendships

Other reviewer‘s complained about the narrator. I don’t understand why I thought the narration went well with the characters. Glad I didn’t let those reviews stop me from buying this book.

Terrible Narrator

I have stopped listening to Angela Marsons' books. Now here we are back again. Jan Kramer's continuousily sighing voice is almost unbearable. She is spoiling interesting characters and great stories with her exaggerated intonation. I don't understand why nobody has been telling her "Less is always More"!

A bit less Suspenseful

I love this series and the narrator. This one seemed a bit more transparent and I knew who the killer was half way through. Also I think it was more to set the stage for the book and progression of Leslie and Elsa relationship. But still highly recommend!
