Publisher Description

There was no doubt at all that the girl was dead. The front of her skull and her facial bones had been splintered like the cracked shell of an egg. What made it even more shocking was the setting of the murder - an idyllic corner of the Scilly Isles where violent crime was almost unknown.

Angry and distressed, the villagers instinctively turn against the only stranger in their midst, the famous pop star and teenage idol Vince Peters. But Superintendent Wycliffe is not so sure. Slowly, methodically, he begins to dig beneath the calm surface of the community - and soon uncovers a violent undercurrent of fear and guilt...

"A good light read. Two murders to solve. Some parts more convincing than others. Interesting to see Wycliffe on the Isles of Scilly for a change."

    " Another Wycliffe mystery series. This one was not as good as some of the others. It was way too easy to guess who had killed the victim. I enjoy watching how Wycliffe does his work and many of the characters are interesting and not stock, but just a bit too easy. "

    " An early book in the Wycliffe series (the earliest I could easily get my hands on!). Nice "English Village" mystery. "

    " A nice light read which was just what I needed. Was set in the Scilly Isles where a girl had been found at the bottom of a quarry. Was it an accident or was it murder? Everyone wants it to be an accident except the father doesn't accept this and pushes the police into investigating. "

    " Good for what it is-a police procedural mystery. Not pretending to be great literature. "
