The Scottish Island Murder (The Ruth Morgan Mysteries Book 2)

Obsessed by Agatha Christie? Curl up in your comfiest chair and escape to an idyllic — but deadly — windswept Scottish island, in this utterly addictive murder mystery packed with red herrings.

Ruth Morgan tried retirement. It didn’t stick. Now she solves murders.

It’s not like she looks for dead bodies. The sixty-five-year-old former police officer would rather focus on her new career advising restaurants on their menus — and spoiling her pampered pedigree cat, Merlin.

But when Ruth’s wealthy sister summons her to her mansion — on a tiny, remote island off the Scottish coast — the last thing she expects is to find the butler in the book-lined study, lying dead on the floor.

Did the loyal servant fall from the balcony, or was he pushed? Ruth’s old police instincts are instantly awakened . . . and the death is far from the only mystery on the isolated island.

Someone on the island is a killer. And if the butler didn’t do it — for obvious reasons — the question who did?

The Ruth Morgan Mysteries are perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Veronica Heley, Fiona Leitch, Simon Brett, The Thursday Murder Club , MC Beaton’s Agatha Raisin and Clare Chase — and anyone who wished they could be Nancy Drew when they grew up.

Please note this was previously published as Murder on Ivywick Island, and contains light editorial revisions.

MEET THE SLEUTH
Former police officer turned caterer Ruth Morgan is well aware that sixty-five is when most sensible people put their feet up. She tried that, and discovered — well, she’s not most sensible people. Now she spends her days travelling across Britain in her motorhome, eating delicious food and telling restaurants how to make their menus even better.
