Synopsis

Appleby Island, once the magnificent home of a tycoon and planter, is a place of history and mystery in the Sacramento delta. Its story includes hints of tragedy, fueling rumors that ghosts still walk its derelict orchards. Now Patsy McCone, her new lover, and a group of investors are turning the old mansion into an elegant bed and breakfast. Summoned by her eccentric younger sister, San Francisco's number one PI Sharon McCone arrives in the teeth of a gale, taking a busman's holiday to investigate mysterious acts of vandalism that are running the project to ruin. But when simple sabotage escalates to savage murder, she finds herself trapped on the island with a desperate killer—and flung into a raging storm of treachery, violence, and sudden death.

Goodreads review by SuperWendy on May 25, 2018

This entry in the Sharon McCone series could be subtitled "Marcia Muller's homage to Gothics." I know I read this 25+ years ago but dang if I remembered any of it - which is kind of shocking since hello, it kind of reads like a Gothic had a baby with a really good episode of Scooby Doo (total Wendy......more

Goodreads review by Jim on August 28, 2021

Sharon McCone, the Bay Area private detective created by Marcia Muller, is part Lew Archer and part Nancy Drew.
