As guests of honour at a remote country house weekend, The Quaint Bookshop reading group are forced to put their detective skills to the test once more when their tour guide plunges to her death from the tallest tower.
But did she throw herself off – or is there a killer on the loose? As heavy snow cuts them off from the outside world, the group squares up to a cast of characters worthy of a certain board game. There’s just one hitch: they don’t have any clues.
Michael abandoned a successful career as a newspaper editor to write fiction. As an author, he completed Desmond Bagley’s thriller Domino Island for posthumous publication and has written two sequels, Outback and Thin Ice, both published by HarperCollins. His debut play Rasputin’s Mother won the Bristol Old Vic playwriting competition and subsequent work for the stage includes The Seagull Has Landed (Power Plays festival winner), MacHamLear (UK tour), Reality (Royal & Derngate) and the book and lyrics for Tess – The Musical (workshopped at the RSC). He has written narrative non-fiction for worldwide television, had short stories and poetry commissioned and published, and contributes regular essays for theatre programmes.
