As Inspector Skelgill begins to head back in after a day of fishing, a young woman on an island flags him down. She came for writing retreat held on the island's mostly abandoned country home, and now a publisher attending the retreat died. Because she and the others agreed to leave technology behind, their means of contacting the proper officials suffers. The inspector introduces himself as the authority. He views the body and expects nothing suspicious until his secured boat disappears from the island. Too late to do anything else, he spends the night on the island with them. By morning another member of the party dies, and officials find Skelgill's boat and show up at the island. This cross between a country house locked-room mystery and police procedural presents an interesting case, but its telling needs some work. It needed better editing. The use of em dashes for commas in many places drove me crazy. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
