Description

Amateur sleuth Astrid Swift swaps the sporting summer in England for a British expat enclave in Spain, where everyone has a secret reason for leaving the UK. The sunniest days, the deadliest nights. Amidst the sun and sangria, something sinister is lurking in the Spanish port town of Estepona. A world-famous restaurant has been the victim of a robbery, and in its wake, this sleepy seaside enclave finds itself rattled by a poison-pen campaign that is teasing out its residents' secrets on social media. Astrid Swift is called to investigate, but with priceless art gone missing and her own father insistent that his life is under threat can she piece together the puzzle before it's too late for both the town and her father Praise for the Astrid Swift mysteries: 'I romped through The Trust... A cosy debut set in a house brimming with secrets... An enchanting murder mystery.' Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'Macabre murders, quirky characters and delightful settings combine in a way that would make Midsomer proud.' Crime Fiction Lover 'A feisty heroine, an ingenious plot and a cast of quirky characters... A cozy crime to savour.' Merryn Allingham, author of The Bookshop Murder 'Intelligent and gently humorous, with a suitably eccentric cast of characters.' M.S. Morris, author of the Bridget Hart books

Author Bio

M.H. Eccleston has had a fairly meandering career starting out as a radio presenter for the BBC, then staying at the Beeb as a journalist and producer for six years. After that, it's a bit of a blur he spent a couple of decades, at least, freelancing as a foreign correspondent, TV presenter, voice-over artist and film critic. For the last few years he's been a full-time screenwriter and now novelist, with some wildlife gardening in the summer to keep himself sane and pay the bills.
