Books like A meditation on murder by Robert Thorogood
When the spiritual retreat leader Aslan Kennedy is found dead in a locked room on Saint Marie, the tranquil Caribbean island is thrown into turmoil. Five guests were in the same room at the time of the murder, and one of them has already confessed. Detective Inspector Richard Poole, weary of dealing with witnesses preoccupied with his aura, insists that the confession may not be truthful. As Poole digs deeper, he discovers that the facts of the case do not align, and he is convinced that the person who has already admitted guilt is actually the one who could not have carried out the killing.
