Peaceful, quaint, traditional. Belle Island is small and very pretty, and is the home to small, close-knit community  whose social lives are organised by a committee of rather colourful if unorthodox characters. They have coffee mornings, walks, and exhibitions at their community centre.
  The committee is run by the fierce Librarian, Esther Barnes. Known for her barbed comments and strict regime, she likes to make pointed digs at ex-husband Tom, who ran off with his secretary who was half his age. Tom, a school teacher, perseveres patiently with the meetings even if little is ever accomplished.  Esther also likes to bully Connie, a simple girl who works at the café and is eager to please and comply but completely lacks common sense. She gets little support from her Manager Claire, who lives on her nerves and relies on regular sips from her hip flask!
  The rest of the committee comprises of Ginnie, ever-smiling slimy councillor Peter Bradbury, and part time Vicar, part time Landlord Eddie Blake. Their quiet, cosy little world is about to be shattered when Ginnie makes a shocking discovery when she seeks out Island Constable John Evans...
