“The Assassins’ Village” by the acclaimed author, Faith Mortimer,
introduces, Diana Rivers, writer, sometime actor and amateur sleuth.
When
an expatriate theatrical group gather to discuss their next play there
will be murder. A blackmailer stalks their picturesque Cypriot village.
The group is riven with jealousies, rivalry, sexual tension and illicit
affairs.
Unbeknown to each other they all attempt to find
solutions to their problems. Some believe it lies in murder. Can they
find the blackmailer? And can they find that all important ‘little black
book’ – the chronicle of their misdeeds.
A body is discovered
and Diana turns detective to draw up a suspects list. After the police
get involved one of the suspects is found hanged – is this another
murder or suicide? A visit to a villager’s home uncovers an ancient
assassin’s device. Could this be the murder weapon? Is it possible that
an assassin lives at the heart of this formerly peaceful and idyllic
mountain village?
Love, hate, murder and high drama all feature
in this classic historical detective story. With a long list of
suspects, some dramatic twists and the odd red herring, the reader is
left guessing until the final curtain. (93,000 words)
