Murder after Midnight

De: Andrea Instone

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A female detective with a checkered past and a healthy measure of self-confidence, a dreamlike island landscape and the high life of the golden twenties.

Mariella Petrarca, former police detective on the picturesque island of Saint Caspillian, now works as a private investigator. Her recent case seems mundane: a woman suspects her husband of having an affair and asks her to gather proof of his infidelity.
The case becomes rapidly more complicated when, as shortly after two shots ring out in the chilly night air, the unfaithful husband and his mistress disappear. Most unusual is the involvement of the Minister of Police; he takes a personal interest in the case and appears to be actively obstructing the investigation.
Mariella has to decide to wether illicitly investigate the case or maintaining distance between herself and the Minister of Police, who was instrumental in her exit from the police force. Should she pursue her investigation, she will put not only her life in danger but also risk losing her private investigator license...

This is the first novel of a new Cosy Crime series from Andrea Instone sparkling with humor and suspense. Set on an European (fictive) island during the roaring twenties, the spectacular backdrop is the perfect counterpoint to the danger and political intrigue that builds in intensity from the beginning of the story to its climatic conclusion. Add a racially diverse cast, strong women and handsome men to this and see how quickly you might want to pack and go to Saint Caspillian.
