The only way out is a long way down.Edmund Mottley, Specialist in Discreet Enquiries, is in a precarious position: his old flame Susan needs his help. Her new fiance is accused of murder, and she wants Mottley to clear his name.Mottley would rather jump off a cliff than get involved, but when Susan is threatened by a shadowy crime syndicate, Mottley leaps to her aid.Mottley and Baker, his intrepid valet, pursue the case to an island of otherworldly beauty. But the island is haunted by secrets, treachery, madness, and ... something more.Every clue crumbles under their feet, pushing Mottley's powers of deduction -- and Baker's loyalty -- to the limit. With his own life on the line, can Mottley save Susan before time runs out?The Mottley & Baker Mysteries are classic whodunnits set in the Golden Age of 1930's traditional detectives. If you like Miss Marple's pastoral puzzles or Albert Campion's rollicking adventures, you'll fall hard for this cozy historical mystery.

REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.Well Motley has done it again. He some how manages to solve the case using the most unorthodox and off methods that just seen to work for him. I enjoy how all of the clues seem to fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle with the picture hidden until the very end. The time frame of perfect as it as just the right cusp of changing technology that makes all things possible Motley makes me laugh constantly and so does Baker to be quite honest. If you enjoy historical mysteries with a touch of comedic flair this is did the series for you. I really enjoyed it so it gets 4/5 stars.
