Following a pattern established in 2012, my contributions to the Crime Fiction Alphabet in 2013 will feature authors or books that I have read recently.
My contribution this week is Australian author Gunilla Haglundh whose debut crime fiction title is MANLY MURDERS: A MOTHER WITHOUT A CHILDSynopsis (Amazon
) When Martin Stream, successful Australian business icon is murdered one morning on a Manly ferry on his way to work, local detective inspectors Georgia Show and Stephen French step in to solve the case. Martin, married with three adult children has a business empire spanning the globe.
The police think they are close to a solution and probable suspects – when there is a second murder at the ghostly Quarantine Station in Manly. This time it’s a well dressed European woman – is there a connection?
A Mother Without A Child, the first in the
Manly Murder series by Gunilla Haglundh has been compared to the English
series Midsomer Murders. You will be taken on a wild ride from the
Italian mafia to unsavoury business deals to the Manly Quarantine’s
history through to the final solutions for the murders. All is
definitely not what it seems.This novel set in Sydney’s northern beaches is guaranteed to keep you guessing, while at the same time revealing much of beachside Manly’s history.
