Medina Bookshop is thrilled to announce the launch of A Summertime Murder, the latest gripping mystery novel by acclaimed Isle of Wight author Mary Grand.
Everyone is welcome to the free launch event which will take place at 6pm on Monday 9th March at Medina Bookshop in Cowes. Mary will be on hand to chat, sign copies and to say a few words about this, the 5th book in the series.
Crime and mystery series
A Summertime Murder is part of Mary’s hugely popular series of crime and mystery novels set on the Isle of Wight.
Each book blends psychological suspense with richly drawn island settings, exploring the secrets, tensions, and hidden histories that lie beneath the surface of seemingly peaceful coastal communities.
Readers have praised her ability to capture the unique character of the Island—its cliffs, coves, villages, and tight‑knit neighbourhoods—while weaving in twists that keep pages turning.
Perfect summer holiday atmosphere turns dark
In this new instalment, a perfect summer holiday atmosphere turns dark when an unexpected death shakes a local community.
As the mystery unfolds, long‑buried truths rise to the surface, revealing the shadows that linger behind idyllic scenery.
Bookshop manager Paul Armfield says,
“Our customers can’t get enough of Mary Grand’s novels, three of her books featured in our top 10 bestsellers of last year.
“They are a word-of-mouth success, though it’s not just Island residents who want to read her local mysteries, visitors to the Island also love reading books set here and we get tourists returning to us year after year to pick up her latest installments.
“We look forward to raising a glass to her and celebrating her continuing success.”
