'Love, passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall in love with!’ – Santa Montefiore, author of Shadows in the Moonlight

The mystery of St Kilda's residents are all revealed in the epic conclusion to Karen Swan's historical series set in Scotland.

Jayne Ferguson has always been a keeper of secrets, most especially her own . . .

If there’s one thing Jayne Ferguson has learnt in her life, it’s that every blessing comes with a curse. She married the most handsome man on the isle of St Kilda - but he’s a bully. She inherited her mother’s gift of second sight - but only ever foresees her fellow islanders’ deaths. She has learnt to keep to herself, treading in the shadows and shirking the highs for fear of the lows.

When a needless death strikes at the heart of her home, Jayne’s bad marriage becomes worse and she finds solace with an unlikely friend. Glimmers of happiness tantalise her, though there’s no possibility for anything more, especially once word comes of St Kilda’s evacuation.

But as the day draws near, tensions on the island rise. Secrets are being forced to the surface, passions and enmities erupting with equal violence. A man is killed, as Jayne knew he would be, and her closest friends Effie, Mhairi and Flora are each implicated.

On the mainland, the villagers scatter into new lives, hoping distance means refuge. But then Jayne has another of her dreams and she knows the past isn’t done with them yet.

The Midnight Secret is the fourth and final book in Karen Swan's sweeping, bestselling Wild Isles series, following on from The Last Summer, The Stolen Hours and The Lost Lover.

Excellent series

Love everything about this series, except having to wait for the next book to come out.

One of the best series of books

I am genuinely sad to see this series end and to say goodbye to the people of St Kilda. Karen Swan is an amazing writer who never disappoints but this series I believe is her very best, exceptional!

A perfect yet captivating ending!

Love the wild isle series. Each one getting better and revealing more and giving away clues yet still shocking readers each time revealing new secrets we could never have imagine when reading the previous. And this one is no exception. I have been captivated since I read Effie’s story!
