Overview

All journalist Jack Myers wants is a relaxing Irish holiday. Retreating from his demanding job as a foreign correspondent, he thinks he's found the perfect escape – the stately St Peter's Manor, perched on the edge of Lough Derg in County Tipperary, just in time for Ireland's longest heatwave. But when a mysterious drowning occurs during the annual Midsummer Ball, Jack's instincts tell him something isn't quite right. Asking questions politely but persistently, he uncovers intriguing whispers: a commodore who vanished a decade earlier, a tight-knit group of childhood friends harbouring old secrets, and motives as tangled as the lakeside reeds. As an unprecedented heatwave presses down on this tranquil corner of Ireland, tensions rise, and Jack's summer escape has become a deadly puzzle. In a small village where everyone has something to hide, the truth may be the most dangerous discovery of all. A bold new cosy crime mystery from debut author Cormac Quinn, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Graham Norton.
