Books: Above suspicion, the Mulgray Twince

WHEN Morna and Helen Mulgray released their first joint novel No Suspicious Circumstances in 2007, they told the Evening News they had always done everything together.

Omitting their first names to instead go by the quirky title "The Mulgray Twins", epitomised their relationship as identical twin sisters and best friends.

"When we did go to separate tutorials at university we felt there was something missing," laughed Morna.

Now the retired English teachers from Joppa are back with their third book and there is no sign of weakness in their successful partnership.

If you enjoyed their first release, as well as their second, Under Suspicion (2008), their latest offering is bound to please.

Follow the adventures of DJ Smith who finds out that drink and drugs can be a lethal combination when a master criminal's profits are threatened by her undercover role as a butler to a wealthy distillery owner on the island of Islay.

• Above Suspicion, by the Mulgray Twins, is published by Robert Hale, priced 18.99. It is released on October 29.
