Displeasure Island Zusammenfassung

Displeasure Island: A Grave Expectations Mystery Alice Bell

A GRAVE EXPECTATIONS MYSTERY

'Warm, smart and laugh-out-loud funny' Andrea Mara

'Alice Bell writes with real verve' Janice Hallett

'There are apparently a lot of ghosts on Spike Island,' said Basher. 'So perhaps one more can't hurt.'
Claire sighed and looked at Sophie. She was standing in the sunlight beaming through the windows, so she was washed out and almost see-through - but still very clearly sticking her tongue out at Claire. 'Oh,' said Claire, 'I think you'd be surprised.'

Professional medium turned detective Claire, her best friend Sophie (a 17-year-old ghost) and their pals are enjoying a much-needed cheap holiday in an unfinished hotel on Spike Island off the coast of Ireland. Claire is flattered to be asked by the local ghost of a pirate captain to investigate the theft of treasure from the shipwreck that stranded him there several hundred years ago.

But just when she thinks she is closing in on the culprit, a murder takes place, and Claire and her friends quickly become the chief suspects. Can they recover the treasure, solve the murder and clear their names before all is lost?

Displeasure Island Bewertungen

Warm, smart, and laugh-out-loud funny, Alice Bell has done it again - an absolute joy -- Andrea Mara, No 1 bestselling author of NO ONE SAW A THING
Claire and Sophie are both hilarious and gut-wrenching, often in the same sentence, and once again Alice Bell has ghosted up a brilliantly puzzling murder. I loved it -- Antony Johnston, author of THE DOG SITTER DETECTIVE
A cracking romp of a read! An engaging and satisfying murder mystery - Agatha Christie meets Ghosts -- J M Hall, author of A SPOONFUL OF MURDER
A deliciously fresh take on the classic locked room mystery - fast, funny and furiously brilliant, Alice's voice jumps off the page -- Sam Blake
A wonderful, hilarious mix of ghost story, murder mystery and an all-too-relatable main character anxiety spiral. I laughed a lot. -- Richey Craven, author of SPIRIT LEVEL
A hilarious, warm and clever mystery. Fair warning - do not attempt to read this on the bus, as you will alarm members of the public when you start snorting with laughter and cannot stop. -- Cailean Steed, author of HOME
Fast, funny and furious, this book has bags of humour, bags of heart and a proper murder mystery at its core... Bell is one to watch. * Janice Hallett on Grave Expectations *
A delicious mashup of grisly murder, country house and semi-helpful ghosts... it's a lot of fun. * Stuart MacBride on Grave Expectations *
Read this fabulous book - you will not regret it. * Ben Aaronovitch on Grave Expectations *
Knives Out vibes with added ghosts. Fresh, funny and hugely enjoyable * Catherine Ryan Howard on Grave Expectations *

Über Alice Bell

Alice Bell grew up in South West England, in the sort of middle-of-nowhere where teenagers spend their weekends drinking Smirnoff Ice in a field that also has at least one horse in it.

She is the deputy editor of Rock Paper Shotgun, a popular PC gaming website, and in 2019 she was named one of the 100 most influential women in the UK games industry.

After spending several years in London, Alice now lives in Cork in Ireland. She has probably read more detective fiction and watched more episodes of Midsomer Murders than is sensible. Her debut novel, Grave Expectations, was selected for the BBC Radio 2 Book Club. Displeasure Island is her second novel.
