Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband’s unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be a boorish grump. Determined to avoid Stephen, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a job as his typist. But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery—a young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren’t moving fast enough to solve the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like the stories of so many other women deemed unworthy by society, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen’s help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for Emily Sullivan:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fans of The Durrells in Corfu, a hugely popular Masterpiece Theater drama set in the ‘30s, will appreciate this prequel of sorts, as will fans of cozy historical mysteries by Rhys Bowen, Jacqueline Winspear, and Amanda Flower.”\u003cb\u003e —firstCLUE \u003c\/b\u003eon \u003ci\u003eA Death on Corfu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This entertaining, immersive read is perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell series and the PBS TV series \u003ci\u003eThe Durrells in Corfu.\u003c\/i\u003e” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eon \u003ci\u003eA Death on Corfu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Period romance, intrigue, and murder on the beautiful island of Corfu are the setup for a new series…A mystery steeped in Greek atmosphere, a budding love story, and answers that lie in the past.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eon \u003ci\u003eA Death on Corfu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This delightful caper through clues, suspicion, and romance held me captivated, while the charming Greek setting left me craving the next installment!\" \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—\u003c\/i\u003eAlyssa Maxwell,\u003c\/b\u003e author of \u003ci\u003eMurder at the Elms \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eA Death on Corfu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Emily Sullivan has created a delightful period mystery with a refined Victorian voice, two unlikely sleuths, a Greek island, and an underlying romance.
