Description
The first in a new series for readers of Tasha Alexander, Deanna Raybourn, Anna Lee Huber, and Rhys Bowen.
Minnie Harper isn’t used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband’s unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life.
When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer’s block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist. She isn’t in a position to turn down work, even from a man she has sworn to hate.
But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren’t moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like the stories of so many other women deemed unworthy by society, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen’s help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .

What a wonderful start to a new mystery series! I really enjoyed the first book in the new Minnie Harper historical mystery series. Minnie is a young widow living on the Greek island of Corfu who ends up working for a mystery writer named Stephen Dorian. They solve a murder and we learn about multiple other family situations and mysteries that hopefully will be addressed in future books. The characters are well written and were a pleasure to read about. The mystery was well written and it was lots of fun to watch them work through the mystery to find the unexpected killer. I look forward to reading more about Minnie, Stephen and her children. Stephen and Minnie make a great crime solving duo and I hope they will work together again soon!
