Agnes and the rest of the elderly residents of Sunset Hall are in for a treat when they win a stay at a luxurious hotel in Cornwall. But the vacation turns dangerous when Agnes thinks she's witnessed a murder. To make matters worse, a storm cuts off the hotel from the rest of the world, trapping Agnes and her friends with a killer.
Ernest Cunningham and his family have gathered at a ski resort for a reunion when a dead body is found in the snow - not ideal under any circumstances, but even more so when one's entire family is comprised of killers.
As the title suggests, everyone in Ernest's family (including himself), has killed someone. The question is, who committed this latest murder?
Nora Breen leaves the High Dallow Carmelite monastery to search for a friend who has gone missing and finds herself at Gulls Nest in picturesque Gore-on-Sea in Kent.
When a series of murders rattles the otherwise charming hotel, the former nun must use her knowledge of her fellow guests to uncover the murderer and a dark past that can't be left behind.
