Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be given your own remote islands? Thirty years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson. Aged 21, Nicolson inherited the Shiants, three lonely Hebridean islands set in a dangerous sea off the Isle of Lewis. With only a stone bothy for accommodation and half a million puffins for company, he found himself in charge of one of the most beautiful places on earth. The story of the Shiants is a story of birds and boats, hermits and fishermen, witchcraft and catastrophe, and Nicolson expertly weaves these elements into his own tale of seclusion on the Shiants to create a stirring celebration of island life. Due to the level of detail, maps and diagrams are best viewed on a tablet. Views: 26

There is no sign of anyone else having been at the scene and her car is parked by the lake. After a fruitless inquiry, the police conclude that successful and beautiful Dianna Wieland, 28, took her own life. Body language expert, Julie O'Hara - who was out running in Eola Park that morning - isn't buying it. She volunteers to help Joe Garrett, a private investigator hired by the family. And that makes Dianna's killer very nervous, indeed... Since Julie O'Hara is the one person most likely to figure it out. Views: 26
