Does art demand sacrifices? A restorer uncovers a murder in an English town.
Now an experienced detective-restorer is investigating a new case on the friendliest English island!
After docking in Yarmouth Bay, Astrid Swift realizes she won’t have a boring time. In the Needle’s House, where she has been invited to assess restoration work for a whole collection of paintings, terrifying secrets of the past are hidden. The residents are frozen in anticipation of the most famous sea-faring festival. And someone has also killed a local activist.
But as for Astrid… she managed to find new friends in the “Art Lovers and Investigations Club,” and together they definitely won’t miss the chance to figure out whether the Isle of Wight is really as friendly as it seems.
