'Warm, smart and laugh-out-loud funny' Andrea Mara
'Delightful' Stuart Turton
'Alice Bell writes with real verve' Janice Hallett
Group holidays are always murder...
An unfinished wellness retreat was not Claire's first choice of holiday destination, but it turns out that amateur murder investigation pays even less well than professional mediumship.
So Claire, her oldest friend Sophie (a 17-year-old ghost) and their new friends, Basher and Alex, head for Spike Island (off the coast of Ireland) for some R&R.
But when one of the other guests turns up dead, Claire finds herself the chief suspect.
Can she solve the murder, clear her name and escape the group holiday from hell before it becomes permanent incarceration?
