About Murder in Paradise: A George & Molly Palmer-Jones Novel

Before Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves wrote the George and Molly Palmer-Jones series following remarkable mysteries in a birdwatching community—now in print for the first time in the US. Newlyweds Jim and Sarah are welcomed home from their honeymoon to the Scottish island of Kinness with a huge celebration. But the cheerful festivities take a dark turn when the groom’s sister slips and tumbles to the perilous rocks below .

. and the whole island is present to witness the bitter end. But did Jim’s younger sister Mary fall?

Or was she pushed? George Palmer-Jones, retired birdwatcher and amateur detective, suspects the latter. But proving it will be difficult—no one wants to upset the balance of the island’s ancient relationships.
