A GALÃO WITH MADEIRA'S MURDEROUS HIGH SOCIETY
A series of murders in Madeira's high society shakes the Atlantic Island. The morning after a celebratory dinner at the island's elite golf club, the organiser lies dead on the premises.
Did the young woman make enemies through her dissolute love life? Or was she on the trail of a dark secret? Comissário Avila actually has better things to do: his first child is on the way. But instead of poring over baby books with his wife Leticia, he is searching for a murderer in Madeira's elite. And to make matters worse, Leticia and her friend Inês start their own investigation-and get dangerously close to the murderer.
Can the Comissário save his little family?
A thrilling murder mystery paired with beautiful descriptions of the island of Madeira.
The prelude to the new cosy crime series - for all fans of Richard Osman, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Anthony Horowitz and Elly Griffith.
REVIEWS:
"Criminal Madeira feeling at its finest!"-starred review.
""Madeira Grave" is an all-around excellent country crime novel. But it is not the typical Portuguese detective story of the last year, it is Madeira. The somewhat different Portugal.
From the sympathetically grumpy Comissário Avila to the charming Vasconcellos to the lovingly developed secondary characters - everything is coherent."-starred review.
"Local colour par excellence. Interspersed with Portuguese expressions, the atmosphere is captured and the reader feels taken in by the Portuguese way of life."-starred review.
"Likeable investigators, plus suspense and entertainment and the historical reference gives the extra kick."-starred review.
