Trouble at High Tide

In her latest mystery in the USA Today bestselling series, Jessica Fletcher looks forward to some rest and relaxation on Bermuda's famed pink beaches. But someone already has plans for a more active—and deadly—vacation.

But when she arrives, the local population is abuzz over a trio of brutal murders, each bearing an eerie resemblance to the infamous 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. The idyllic island is on edge—who will be the next victim?

With the legend of Jack the Ripper very much on everyone's mind, Jessica attends a lavish party at the extravagant waterfront mansion of her friend and host for the week, New Jersey district judge Thomas Betterton. At the end of the night, Jessica takes a relaxing walk on the pink-sanded beach, only to stumble upon a horrifying discovery: the body of one of the partygoers.

Jessica contemplates heading home to Cabot Cove, but decides against it when her old friend Scotland Yard inspector George Sutherland calls.

Jessica is soon drawn into the case, and she finds herself dangerously close to the killer....
