Ex-Metropolitan Police sergeant Jodie Parker and her new husband, DCI Nathan Withers, are honeymooning at a luxurious eco-resort on a secluded Cornish island. But there's a twist: they're undercover, as the resort's owner has hired them to investigate a series of sabotages, and Jodie's mum Shirley and daughter Daisy - and their dog, Germaine - have somehow managed to get themselves invited along too.

The happy couple plan to make the most of the five star facilities, while discreetly questioning staff and guests. However, when a fierce storm traps everyone on the island, tragedy strikes - a guest is found dead in the wreckage of the boathouse, and it looks like murder...

With a killer among them, it's up to Jodie and Nathan to solve the mystery before another life is lost.

Fiona Leitch is a novelist and screenwriter with a chequered past. She's written for footballing and motoring magazines, childbirth videos and mail order catalogues; DJ'ed at illegal raves in London, been told off by a children's TV presenter during a studio debate; and was the Australasian face of a series of TV commercials for a cleaning product. All of which has given her a thorough grounding in the ridiculous, and helped her to write funny stuff.
