Lori Shepherd is no stranger to trouble and intrigue. But when Bill, her high-profile attorney husband, starts receiving death threats aimed at his family, danger hits closer to home. With Scotland Yard on the case, Bill sends Lori and their five-year-old twins to the safety of an island off the coast of Scotland.
But nowhere, it seems, is safe. For another mystery is unfolding on the island, and Lori suspects the locals are running a smuggling operation. When she finds a human skull washed up on the beach, her fears are fuelled further. With her otherworldly Aunt Dimity's help, Lori begins to piece together the clues, unaware of the danger growing around her. Can she escape the murderous threats before it's too late?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Atherton delivers another cheerful cuppa cozy, her 11th to feature U.S. ex-pat Lori Shepherd (after 2005's Aunt Dimity and the Next of Kin), who lives with her attorney husband, Bill Willis, and their cricket-playing twin sons, Will and Rob, in the Cotswolds. When Bill begins receiving e-mail death threats from a stalker who signs his revenge-obsessed dispatches "Abaddon" (from the Book of Revelations), Lori, the twins and Reginald (Lori's pink rabbit toy) retreat to the scenic Scottish isle of Erinskil, where they stay as the guests of one of Bill's clients, jovial Sir Percy Pelham, at Dundrillin Castle. The ideal refuge, however, soon becomes a hotbed for intrigue, and Lori's forced to depend more on her own instincts than the advice of the ghostly Aunt Dimity, who communicates through journal entries, to protect her sons' lives as well as her own.
