She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real.

One glorious morning, Rina heads out for a stroll along Frampton promenade, where all is picture-perfect . . .

Until she spots somethingthat stops her in her tracks.

A luxury yacht sailing round in circles. Rina knows that can’t be right.

As for the captain, he is nowhere to be seen.

Until coastguards board the yacht — to find him shot dead. Execution-style.

The captain’s name is Paul de Freitas: a high-powered software designer from out of town.

What was he doing in Frampton, and who is the mystery man who shared his fate?

Rina’s determined to get to the bottom of it all — but has she finally bitten off more than she can chew?

If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, The Thursday Murder Club, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, Frances Evesham or Ann Cleeves, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery! Originally published as The Power of One.

Reviews

“Miss Marple fans will find a lot to like.” Publishers Weekly
“Rina’s kickoff emphasizes people and place, letting the reader in on secrets early and relying on psychological conflict to drive the appealing plot.” Kirkus
“A new and better Miss Marple . . . she is intelligent, observant and a most welcome to the DI . . . you’ll fall in love with the characters. This reads like a good movie.” Vicki
“This is my first book by this author and I will eagerly await more!” Nancy
“Murder She Wrote is an apt comparison — Rina Martin is sharp and no-nonsense. She knows a bit about law, a bit about murder — and a lot about human nature.” Carmen
