Blood on the Sand by Pauline Rowson - first published in 2010
This is the 5th in the series of Detective Inspector Horton novels but it is also a stand alone novel. DI Andy Horton is on holiday in the Isle of Wight when he finds a young woman on a golf course early one morning. She is holding a gun and bending over a dead man, who turns out to be her brother. The local detective Birch believes she is mentally deranged and guilty. She is taken to hospital but absconds and then more murders are committed and she is suspected. However it is of course not that simple. The dead man was working on a European environmental project and the conspiracy around it goes back decades. The book is a bit dull to be honest.
Islands covered - Isle of Wight 4/10
