A cosy mystery perfect for fans of Sally Smith, Steve Higgs, LJ Ross, Robert Thorogood, and Richard Osman.

The celebrations for The National Day of Spain are the biggest event in the calendar for the Club Britannia complex on Spain’s Costa del Sol. As part of the organising committee, Karen McLaren has been overseeing the evening’s food, drink, music, and dancing. She has big plans…

…finding herself making inquiries about a murdered partygoer isn’t one of them.

Neither Karen nor the local police can understand how the death has happened. Though everything they see suggests it’s impossible, they know there must be a logical explanation. It’s just finding it that’s the problem!

Setting aside their usual rivalry, Karen’s amateur detective friends find themselves working together with Comisario Hernandez. But all the clues they try to follow seem to lead them to the same dead ends.

How did a simple retirement plan of fine wine and Spanish sunshine grow so complicated?

Author promise: this cosy mystery does not contain any gore, violence, or profanity. Nor does it contain any scenes of an explicit nature.

Although books featuring Karen McLaren can be read in any order, A Sapphire Secret is the third book in the series. If you enjoy cosy mysteries, then this is definitely the book for you!
