Book Synopsis
After over a decade away, widowed mother of two Minnie Harper has left sunny Greece and returned to her native England at the turn of the 20th century--just as a cloud of suspicion falls over her younger sister in this cozy historical mystery for fans of Jessica Fellowes, Tasha Alexander, Deanna Raybourn, Rhys Bowen, and the PBS series The Durrells in Corfu. The world is changing at the dawn of the 20th century, but respectable English families still dread a public scandal. So Minnie agrees to accompany her reckless sister, Delia, for a night on the town with her Bohemian friends. The evening involves a raucous house party, a visit to a fortune-teller, and an encounter with a flirtatious baron, but none of that unsettles Minnie more than running into Stephen Dorian, her former employer in Corfu, who stirs in her a mix of resentment and attraction. Soon after, Delia discovers the body of her rumored beau in his own home, and Minnie insists on playing by the rules and informing the police. After all, fleeing the scene could suggest Delia is guilty of more than an improper late-night rendezvous . . . When the sisters return to the townhouse, their parents, dreading the threat of gossip, insist that Minnie help clear Delia's name. Her discreet investigation will take her back into Delia's decadent circle and have her crossing paths again with the baron--a collector of antiques--and the infuriating Stephen Dorian. But her new social life is soon overshadowed by dangerous intrigue that leads her to question even her own past . . .Review Quotes
Praise for Emily Sullivan's A Death on Corfu: "Fans of The Durrells in Corfu, a hugely popular Masterpiece Theater drama set in the '30s, will appreciate this prequel of sorts, as will fans of cozy historical mysteries by Rhys Bowen, Jacqueline Winspear, and Amanda Flower." --firstCLUE "This entertaining, immersive read is perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell series and the PBS TV series The Durrells in Corfu." --BookPage "Period romance, intrigue, and murder on the beautiful island of Corfu are the setup for a new series...A mystery steeped in Greek atmosphere, a budding love story, and answers that lie in the past." --Kirkus Reviews "This delightful caper through clues, suspicion, and romance held me captivated, while the charming Greek setting left me craving the next installment!" --Alyssa Maxwell, author of Murder at the Elms "Emily Sullivan has created a delightful period mystery with a refined Victorian voice, two unlikely sleuths, a Greek island, and an underlying romance. A treat for fans of historical mystery!" --Dianne Freeman, USA Today bestselling author of the Countess of Harleigh mysteries "Death in Corfu has every element that makes a mystery work for me: a smart, pragmatic heroine, an exotic locale, an interesting love interest, and of course, a compelling murder. I can't wait for Minnie's next adventure!" --Colleen Cambridge, author of Mastering the Art of French Murder "I rarely try to figure out whodunnit myself and I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Sullivan also leaves the reader with a bit of a cliffhanger, so I am already looking forward to book two." --AuntAgatha's
