Trapped by ferocious squid in a remote seaside inn, tensions rise among the guests as a body is found adrift in the flotsam. Meet a wealthy blue-ring octopus and his sinister side-kick, as a weekend excursion of the Nether Vortex Ramblers to watch seabirds on the Outer Gyre sets the scene for a classic murder mystery.
This third volume of The Gyre Trilogy is a perfect beach read.
