There's a murderer on the loose on a storm swept island cut off from the Scottish mainland. It's down to Losers Club, a quirky weight loss group led by the intrepid Penny Moon, to catch the culprit.

'A murder mystery that can also make you giggle is one to savour.'

When Old Archie the postman is shot and ends up in Mrs Hubbard's ice cream freezer, the whole island is aghast. Especially Mr Hubbard, who objects strongly to having to move all the ice lollies into the other freezer.

Newly divorced and desperate to make a life for herself and her teenage children, Penny Moon arrives on Vik just in the nick of time, before the island is cut off by a storm.

Her weight loss business doesn't have the best of starts, when a series of blunders leads to it being called Losers Club. However, it does have the best of people - a decent, disparate bunch who decide that, with the police unlikely to arrive any time soon and a murderer on the loose, it is down to Losers Club to investigate.

As they dig deeper into the mystery, they uncover a dark secret, kept by the older islanders for almost half a century. A secret that has come back to haunt them and threatens their very existence.

'Well written, with relatable characters and lashings of humour.'

'The story is engaging and keeps you guessing until the end. The description of Scottish weather and life on an island is captured perfectly and takes you right to the wind-blown edges of civilisation!'

'Just the right balance of humour and mystery, I was kept in suspense all the way through. Loved all the different characters. An easy and enjoyable read!'

'Written in such a brilliant way you can hear the accents of the characters as they get up to their shenanigans! We all use the phrase laugh out loud so much nowadays & I often suspect it's not quite true. In this case however I genuinely laughed out loud on several occasions. I really enjoyed reading this book & recommend it to anyone wanting a light escape from life.'

'A good read. Different, full of colourful language and even more colourful characters. Twists and turns and surprises as the book goes along.'
