What if a bad day at work got you booted off to a tiny Scottish island? And then you’re blamed for murder?

Sylvie will do almost anything for the wild animals under her care. Except what she’s told by her useless boss. Which is how a city girl ends up alone on an island, with only an otter for a friend.

She’s spoiling for a fight. And a comeback.

When she visits the bookshop cafe on the neighbouring island, she’s welcomed. She cures their sick pets. Soon she’s helping her new friends organise their Halloween celebrations. Sylvie’s found a true home. But will it last?

Not for long. All is in jeopardy when the local accountant is found dead at the harbour.

Worse, a mysterious message suggests unless Sylvie leaves, she’ll be framed for another killing, only days away.
And meanwhile, a mighty once-in-a-generation storm is heading for the island. The storm will land on the very night of Halloween. It’s to be a ghastly disguise for what the murderer will do next ...

This book contains no cussing or lurid scenes. It does contain a recipe for Gingerbread Hot Chocolate.
