A Murder in Malta: An Elspeth Duff Mystery - Paperback

by Ann Crew (Author)

A luxury hotel. A high-stakes assignment. A murder that wasn't on the itinerary.

Elspeth Duff is chic, savvy, and Cambridge-educated. She is also one of the world's best security advisors. When she is called to the opulent Kennington Valletta hotel in Malta, she expects a difficult job: protecting the guests from a looming threat.

She didn't expect to be investigating a murder.

Amidst the sun-drenched beauty of the Mediterranean, Elspeth must navigate a minefield of colorful suspects: a pompous best-selling author, a stiff British diplomat, and a mysterious stranger with secrets of his own.

But when a friend is found dead, the job becomes personal.

Elspeth must balance her professional duty with her own emotional turmoil, reconnecting with a childhood friend and fighting unwanted romantic sparks. With the clock ticking, she sets a trap to catch the killer-but the truth might be more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen, M.C. Beaton, and Louise Penny.
