Body On The Island

Victoria Dowd

An uninhabited Scottish island.

Ten stranded strangers.

A murderer on the loose.

Ursula Smart, along with her dysfunctional family, heads to Scotland for a gentle weekend of foraging and camping in the Outer Hebrides.

Their boat capsizes. Washed up on an uninhabited island, the Smart women face starvation, freezing conditions and — worse — no Wi-Fi.

A fun escape swiftly turns into a desperate battle for survival. Someone begins killing them off one by one.

Will our gang of Smart women escape or will they be next?

A GRIPPING MURDER MYSTERY PACKED WITH TWISTS AND A TOUCH OF DARK HUMOUR

Victoria Dowd’s brilliant whodunnit is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman, Lucy Foley, L.J. Ross, Matt Haig, Faith Martin, Jeanne M. Damms and Stuart Turton.

““Ursula Smart is on waspish good form in this sequel to The Smart Woman’s Guide To Murder. Victoria Dowd juxtaposes compelling insights into psychological trauma with hilarious reflections on toxic relationships — all nicely wrapped in a satisfying mystery. Highly entertaining!””
Margaret Murphy, bestselling author of Before He Kills Again
““A witty, clever and darkly delicious take on the country house murder genre. I relished the twists and turns that came at me faster than an Alpine switchback and the characters who are at times all too horribly familiar. Hugely enjoyable.””
Amanda Lees, author of Selling Out
