Jeanne M. Dams spins a tale of Iona and of murder in this delightful book. It is perfect for sitting down and reading in an evening. The most exciting and well done segment of the novel is the description of being caught on a Hebridean Island in a horrible storm.

A peaceful vacation on the charming Scottish island of Iona sounds idyllic to sometime sleuth Dorothy Martin. But Dorothy soon finds that while Iona is charming, her vacation won't be peaceful. Thrown in with a bickering American church tour, she tries to keep her distance. But she can't stay far away from murder.

Everybody believes the unpleasant American's fatal fall from a cliff is accidental. Everybody, that is except Dorothy. The only witness, she saw a small clue the police dismiss, one that makes her believe the death was not an accident. With the police closing the case, Dorothy feels bound to investigate. But it's a choice she may regret.
