About this listen

An isolated island. A savage storm. An English murder mystery.

A storm is raging over Damson Island, a desolate yet beautiful rocky outcrop off the south coast of England.

The island's magnificent main house belongs to theatre director Randall Dobson, a man desperate to have his play ready for its West End stage debut. With time running out, he asks leading cast members to attend final rehearsals there, and Henry Fleming is invited by his old friend, the veteran actress Lady Mabel Garfield, to join them.

Cut off from the mainland by the storm, tensions rise, accusations fly and secrets are whispered. But despite old rivalries resurfacing and jealousy rearing its ugly head, it still comes as a shock when one of their number is brutally murdered.

Who among the guests is capable of such an act? With no way of reaching the mainland, private detective Henry Fleming must sift fact from fiction and uncover the truth if he is to answer the question: who among them has a motive for murder?

For fans of Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and all their wonderful whodunnit / howdunnit mysteries.

Unsophisticated writing

Trying too hard to be Agatha Christie but not having the insight into the era. Unlikely dialogue between characters. Good narration though.

Not as good as

Although the pathway for the murderer was EXCELLENT, there wasn't a side plot that was interesting...as there was in Mystery at Watermeade Manor, my favorite so far.
