The Woman in the Frame - Marsh JJ

Discover private eye Beatrice Stubbs in this riveting island case of the popular British crime series.

Crystalline Mediterranean waters lap the rocky northern coast of Mallorca, blessing the town of Deià with blood-orange sunsets, balmy night skies and the legacy of a poet.

This former artists' colony now attracts the rich and famous looking to party in privacy. It's the perfect place for a honeymoon until your morning coffee is interrupted by a dead body.

Who would want to murder the muse of a world-famous artist?

Enter Beatrice Stubbs, ex-Scotland Yard detective turned private investigator, who never rejects a job if it involves good food and fine wine.

Someone - an esoteric church leader, a wild-eyed ex-muse, the woman who forgets nothing, the artist's agent or that covetous neighbour - knows what really happened and why.

But when locals and incomers point the finger at one another, how can Beatrice distinguish between lies, truth and artistic licence?

***All Beatrice books can be read standalone***
