A Death on Corfu (A Minnie Harper Mystery Book 1)

Minnie Harper is a widow living on the Greek island of Corfu at the turn of the twentieth century, raising two children alone after her husband's death. As her children seek their independence, she faces an uncertain future and must find work. When Stephen Dorian, a mystery author from London, rents a neighboring villa, Minnie initially finds him disagreeable. Despite her reservations, she accepts his offer of employment as his typist, needing the income. Her circumstances change dramatically when she discovers a young maid has been murdered. Frustrated by the slow response of local authorities, Minnie begins her own investigation into the crime, reluctant to let the death go unexamined. She accepts Stephen's help as she searches for answers, uncovering hidden aspects of Corfu and raising troubling questions about her employer and whether the killer might strike again. This is the first book in a mystery series.
