Murder on Foley's Island — Alice Walsh

People on Foley's Island are thrilled to have the renowned hypnotist, Prospero, perform at the community hall. However, when Prospero calls his hypnotized subjects back to the stage, Jake Peckford is not with them. After the show, concerned friends and relatives go looking for him. Hours later when the archbishop is found murdered on the beach, Jake becomes the prime suspect. A severe storm prevents the forensics team from crossing over on the ferry, and Blanche St. Croix, a rookie RCMP officer, finds herself in charge. As she proceeds with the investigation, she finds secrets, cover-ups, and no shortage of suspects. Even the archbishop has a few skeletons in his closet. But when the truth comes to light, it is far more shocking than anyone could have imagined.
