Death on Lindisfarne: The Aidan Mysteries: 02

by Fay Sampson (Author)

Synopsis

Twice each day the holy island of Lindisfarne is cut off from the mainland by the incoming tide. Slight and ginger-bearded, Aidan the photographer and accidental sleuth brings his inquisitive eight-year-old daughter Melangell to the retreat centre on Lindisfarne. There they meet Lucy, a young Methodist minister with a painful past, who is running a course on Northumbrian saints. When one of the course members is found dead on the beach, suspicion falls on one guest, then another. Or could the tides have allowed a murderer to come from the mainland? Then someone from Lucy's previous life makes a most unwelcome appearance...

Media Reviews
Grief and healing, violence and peace, sanctity and evil: Holy Island was ever a place of contrasts. The spirit of ancient saints hovers near, but contemporary corruption threatens Aidan and all he holds dear... will enchant readers of classic British mysteries. -- Donna Fletcher Crow, author of A Very Private Grave
A powerfully evoked sense of place and unfolding mystery is woven into a contemporary tale of tragedy turned sinister, on the ancient island of saints. -- C. F. Dunn, author of Mortal Fire
