Alexander Thorpe is back with another hilarious Australian cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Kerry Greenwood.
Disgraced journalist Elsie Ashworth is starting 1929 on a low note. She’s lost her job, her home and her reputation, and the one friend in her corner is an irritatingly erudite wandering monk. So, when a young man washes ashore with a harpoon in his chest, Elsie sees opportunity in tragedy. If she can solve the murder ahead of the police and her watchful ex-colleagues, the tide might still turn in her favour, giving her one last shot at redemption.
