"The sudden death of gut Brouard after his morning swim shocks the residents of Guernsey. Brouard had been a generous patron and benefactor of the island since his arrival there a decade ago, and his demise puts a question mark over many cherished projects.

When a young American woman is charged with the murder, her brother seeks help from the only contact he has in the UK - Deborah StJames. Deborah is horrified to find that her old friend has been arrested and persuades her husband Simon to accompany her to Guernsey to avert this miscarriage of justice.

What they find on that beautiful island is a tangled web of deceit and betrayal, with its origins in wartime occupation. In solving the crime they must rely on their long-standing friendship with Inspector Thomas Lynley; they must also learn painful lessons about loyalty and trust, and the loving tyranny of family ties."

Going into Sydney1's Crime Fiction BookBox. Enjoy! :0)

Not one of George's best books. Too convoluted, and Deborrah's troubles with poor ol' patient husband are getting increasingly annoying.
Anyhow, I had already read this book, (the only book in my crime book box which I had already read when it came back to me), so I'm sending it on it's journey again: I took it to the Munich book crosser's meeting last night 13. Feb 2008, and it was snapped up by DonPasquale for his office bookcrossing book shelf. Let's see who'll register it next ...

I catched this at the Meetup in Munich, in the pub Baal. I will release in the the Coffee-Corner from
the Development Department in Wirecard.
