DEATH ON EAST HILLS ISLAND: A chilling British crime mystery (The Norfolk Coast Murders Book 4)

East Hills Island lies a mile offshore—a narrow strip of white sand and shifting dunes accessible only by ferry. Treacherous tides and a deadly rip current isolate visitors; once there, they remain stranded until the ferry returns. DI Peter Shaw is called to investigate a suspicious death in Creake. Thirty-five-year-old Marianne is found dead in her bed with pills on the bedside table. DS Valentine suspects suicide, but Shaw notices disturbing details: a twisted duvet, a torn sheet, and a kiss mark on the outside of the bedroom window. The investigation reveals a connection to a cold case from 1994. A young lifeguard was murdered on East Hills' remote sands on a hot August day. Seventy-five people were on the beach that day—including Marianne. Shaw and Valentine must identify everyone present and determine whether Marianne was killed because of what she witnessed. Shaw is methodical and principled, working in the shadow of his late father, a former police legend. Valentine, his partner, operates by gut instinct and procedure-breaking habits—the opposite of Shaw's approach. Together they navigate Norfolk's flat, exposed coastline of saltmarsh, sandbanks, and narrow roads, where the landscape shapes every investigation.
