Description

Detective Petra Vidmar is back! Expect more stunning scenery, lovable protagonists, clever twists and of course, a baffling murder. It's the perfect summer holiday read!

----------

It's high summer in Slovenia. The charming resort town of Portorož is swarming with holidaymakers, and Detective Petra Vidmar is losing her cool.

Fresh from her success solving the baffling murder of a beloved colleague, Petra's been enjoying sunshine, ice cream and very little crime in her new home on the stunning Slovenian coast. Life is blissful . . . until a superyacht drifts into the harbour with a body sprawled on deck.

Steffi de Vries was a star on the social media scene, but her glittering career and picture-perfect life were brutally cut short. It seems that among her millions of followers, were many enemies: jealous boyfriends; ambitious rivals; illicit lovers and vengeful business partners. But who took their dislike beyond their phone screen and into real life?

Petra and her assistant Policist Aleš Koren soon find themselves deep in the world of wealth, glamour, luxury and 'likes'. But not all is as it seems . . . can they prise off the filter of perfection to reveal the murderous truth?

----------

Following Death on the Adriatic, this is Georgina Stewart's second twisty, clever mystery set on the breathtakingly beautiful Slovenian coast. Perfect for fans of Tom Hindle, Robert Thorogood and Donna Leon.
