Blurb 

In the sizzling summer heat of Mallorca, unorthodox and charismatic 34-year-old sleuth, Isabel Flores Montserrat, finds herself investigating the grisly balcony fall of a famous local opera singer. Is it a tragic suicide or, as she suspects, a case of murder? Meanwhile, in her own mountain village of Sant Martí, elderly homeowners are dying in mysterious circumstances while a newly arrived ambitious estate agent is receiving anonymous death threats.

With sinister forces at play and the clock ticking, Isabel, and pet ferret, Furó, once again join Chief of Police, Tolo Cabot, in setting out to uncover the truth before more lives are lost.

My Thoughts 

This is a short and fantastic read. I completed it fully in one day!

The cover and design is perfect and eye catching. 

We follow the bright and eccentric Isabel and her sidekick ferret Furo as she takes on a case and goes to to investigate in her own unique and unorthodox ways.  We end up with two mysteries within the plot, so there is alot to unpack. 

As the deaths start to multiply within the community they soon start to link together and link to the plot. The murder leaves behind clues and some are unconventional. 

As Isobel is trying to investigate and find the culprit, a curve ball is thrown in her personal life about a family member which makes the situation more tricky. 

Vibrant descriptions and characters this book was a joy to read. 

This is book 4 in a series, although it was fine as a standalone it would be interesting to read the previous books to see if there is a continuum theme. Nonetheless a worthy read.
