In The Cards
In late 1925, Laura Penhallow accepts an invitation to visit the Amberley family at their home in the remote Isles of Scilly off the coast of Cornwall. Galen Amberly's mother would like to see him married to a suitable young woman. Galen's best friend, Martin Taylor is also a guest.
What none of them expected was the last minute addition of two Americans, Basil and Senara Wilson. When one of the guests ends up dead, and the island is cut off from the rest of the world temporarily, Laura, Galen, and Martin work together to figure out what's going on.
