Description

'The sun of the Adriatic fills the pages and the plot is pitch perfect . . A great summer time crime read' - NetGalley reviewer

----------

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.

Inšpektorica Petra Vidmar is back for a second investigation following Georgina Stewart's Debut - Death on the Adriatic in 2025.

A tourist is found dead on a luxury boat on the Slovenian coast and Petra and her team are back to investigate. Now living by the sea, Petra is now the lead detective and is becoming familiar with the coastal resort and getting to know the foibles of her colleagues . Supported by her police team of Aleš Koren ,Medved, Crevatini and the enthusiastic Bizjak, several suspects come to the fore - who is the murderer?

This is a great read- the characters are really developing and the police procedural aspects are fast paced and full of twists and turns. Petra Vidmar is a great creation - fully of empathy and not loaded down with dark past( as is the case in so many detective series)

The sun of the Adriatic fills the pages and the plot is a pitch perfect.

A great summer time crime read . Georgina Stewart is creating a winning series- roll on book 3 - (4.5 out of 5 .. if I give 5 then it puts high expectation on the next story:-) )

Thank you to Constable publishing and Netgalley for the advance copy
